In the death throes of the Greek Revolution of 1821, the city of Missolonghi stands as the leading bastion of freedom for the rebels. In 1825, a large Ottoman army arrives before its walls with the intention of terminating the last organized holdout of the Greeks. Using the medium of animation, this short film depicts the valiant defense and soul-stirring fall of Missolonghi, through the perspectives of three different narrators (Greek, Turkish, English).
Aimilios Velia studied Photography and Audiovisual Arts in the University of West Attica. He has also obtained a certification for scriptwriting from the Scriptwriter's Guild of Greece,
