Another life changing movie. This one hit me right in the heart when I was about 15 years old. It's a story of a mom (Eleni) during the time when Communists took over Greece. She didn't want her kids to grow up under that system, so she created the diversion for them to escape their village to flee to America where her husband had previously emigrated to find work before their arrival. Her attempt allowed for their escape, but she unfortunately was caught, imprisoned and later killed. True story. Her youngest son became a journalist in his adulthood and went back to research her life. So this clip includes the scene of her death and some of her son's (played by John Malcovich) research. Her words are powerful!!
