Description

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of late 19th-century Crete, Freedom and Death is Nikos Kazantzakis's modern retelling of an epic struggle. A new uprising threatens to upend the fragile balance between Greeks and Turks, as Christianity and Islam vie for dominance.

In this gripping tale, the lives of ordinary people are caught in the crossfire. The village of Megalokastro is thrown into chaos by explosions of violence, while a Cretan resistance fighter and his Turkish blood-brother engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
