The
Prize Winning Documentary "The Children of
1948"
On Sunday March 13,
2005, the Canadian Macedonian Historical Society presented
the new documentary "The Children of 1948".
Synopsis:
 Fifty-six years ago, one of the biggest human tragedies
happened in the southern part of the Balkans, after the Second
World War.
As a result of the Civil War in Greece (from 1946-1949), over 28,000
children between the ages of 2 to 14 were separated from their
parents and siblings and transferred to different Eastern European
countries, to be saved from the consequences of the war. Growing
up in group homes and camps around Eastern Europe, far away from
their families, they carried with them the burden of all the happenings
during that period.
This film won The Kodak Imaging Award for the
Best New Canadian Student Director at the 2004 Montreal World
Film Festival and has
been screened at several European Festivals, with outstanding
results.
