*Cliffs of Freedom* is an historical drama romance movie based and inspired
on a novel written by Marianne Metropoulos, *Daughter of Destiny*.  The
novel served as the springboard to the film produced by Marianne and Dean
Metropoulos with Marianne serving as co-writer of the screenplay.

Marianne’s story is an amalgam of stories, accounts and events that
transpired during Greece’s Revolutionary War.  The lives, struggles,
sacrifices and saga of the Greeks is brilliantly on full display, symbolic
of the resiliency, resolve and grit of the Greek people determined to be
free.  Their deep faith, values and love of family, culture and heritage
marks the first time their story is shown on the silver screen in epic
form.  The film’s production values, acting, score and the caliber of cast
and crew have created a motion picture that has riveted audiences.

*Cliffs of Freedom* story centers on an ill-fated romance between a
beautiful young Greek village girl set in the beginning days of Greece’s
Revolutionary war.  The girl, played by veteran actress, Tania Raymonde,
falls in love with and a handsome and conflicted Ottoman Colonel, portrayed
by actor Jan Uddin.  The Colonel is mentored by a Greek elder and advisor
to the Empire, brilliantly portrayed by the late Academy-Award winning
actor, Christopher Plummer.  The brutality of the war comes to a head when
the Greek village girl’s family is massacred, she swears revenge directly
implicating the man she loves which ultimately leads to a battle that
changes the course of history for Greece and her people.

The story is set in Valtetsi, a small village in Arcadia in Greece’s
Peloponnese.  As the Greek Revolutionary War looms large in smaller Ottoman
strongholds including Valtetsi, the hero of Greece’s War of Independence,
General Theodoros Kolokotronis calculates that following successful
campaigns in Levidi,  Doliana and Grana a win in the stronghold of
Tripolitsa would serve as a bellwether symbol of Greece’s resolve to win
the fight for freedom.  After an incessant and steady campaign, Tripolitsa
falls on September 23, 1821.  A day marking the beginning of the end of
Ottoman’s rule and four centuries of subjugation over Greece.

            Please let MGSA members know of the film’s availability and if
you need any additional information, don’t hesitate to let us know.
