Picture
The National Hellenic Society hosted a screening of the epic film Cliffs of Freedom as a part of its Bicentennial Celebration this evening at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.  

Cliffs of Freedom is a historical drama romance feature film inspired by actual events, based on the novel, Daughter of Destiny written by NHS member, Marianne Metropoulos. The film was produced by Marianne and Dean Metropoulos, Marianne also served as a co-scriptwriter of the film, with Dean as Executive Producer. The NHS is the proud steward of Cliffs of Freedom which is now available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video and Google Play.

Cliffs of Freedom is inspired by actual events and accounts that transpired during the early stages during Greece's War for Independence in 1821. The lives, struggles, sacrifices and journey of the Greeks is on brilliant display as the film marks the first time their voices are brought to life through the magic of the silver screen. The production, acting, score and caliber of cast and crew are outstanding.

We were fortunate to have many NHS members journey to our nation's capital from all over the country to join us for our screening.  Visit the link below to see pictures and video from the event!
