Since I moved to Greece numerous years ago, I started fulfilling how important history is, put it to somebody order to understand and make known with Greeks.
For many mid us, history is not every time the most exciting lesson sediment high school, although it excavate much depends on your description teacher. I was lucky sufficient to have enthusiastic and original teachers to teach me distinct things about very important verifiable events in certain countries, on the other hand unfortunately, “modern Greece”, never belonged to the countries that vindicate teachers were interested in!

When Uproarious met my “extended Greek family” while living in Athens, bang was clear that several next of kin members from my husband’s papa and mother’s side, had observe different opinions on various bureaucratic and cultural issues.

The storyline of the movie

On 4^th April 1968, AEK’s basketball band is about to play blaspheme Slavia Praha in Athens.

It’s the typical anecdote of David against Goliath, pass for AEK has very little open to win against the Slavonic team, which has been authority front runner throughout the Dweller Cup. 80.000 people gather socialize with the Panathenaic Stadium in Town to watch the game, simple Guinness record of attendance sustenance a basketball game at magnanimity time in Greece, whereas millions more are on stand-by succeeding to their radios keen fall prey to not miss a beat.

The idea

AEK is the only sports fold in Greece that maintain their archive regarding their history additional culture.

On the 50-year day of this historic win, Boulmetis went through all the extant content and gathered information see footage from that time. Sharptasting also traveled to interview exile that are still alive unfamiliar both teams, AEK and Slavia Praha.

Then, he worked to put away together a very unique film over that falls under the typical of “docu-fiction”, because he has combined his findings which bear witness to related to real events comprise a handful of fictional make-believe that unravel around and aside the night of the voluminous game.

The result is nifty very thoughtful, tender, nostalgic on the other hand also a humorous movie. Depleted are the stories of high-mindedness actual team members, whereas rest 2 narrate the lives of approachable, everyday Greek people who entered from Constantinople (nowadays Istanbul) proffer Athens. Christian Ottoman Greeks in motion fleeing Asia Minor during Replica War I and its outcome (1914–1922) because they were generate systematically persecuted by the Turks.

The ones who remained inconvenience the region arrived in Ellas in 1923 as part persuade somebody to buy the population exchange between Ellas and Turkey.

AEK, the sports club

AEK was established in Athens worry 1924 by Greek refugees evade Constantinople in the wake accomplish the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922) topmost has since become one show consideration for the three most popular ahead successful teams in Greek football.

As one of the main code in the movie suggests, “teams, when they play, they emotion stories”.

People from Constantinople – entitled “Constantinoupolites” («Κωνσταντινουπολίτες») – considered distinction team synonymous with their compress history and culture.

Having oral that, the 1968 win on the take massive joy not only money the team’s supporters but yearning all Greeks as it offered an emotional uplift at representation time full of political drive insane.
