TV DOCUMENTARY “1821” PRODUCED BY “GREECE”
Anastasia (Kösem Sultan) (1589 - 1651)
Greek Wife of Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I
When the documentary titled "1821", telling the story of Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire, aired on a Greek TV (Skai Channel) and showed “actually the most prosperous period of Greece was lived under the Ottoman rule”, the country fell in a hot debate.
Ultra-nationalists and especially the Greek Church are furious with the documentary.
It stirred up trouble in the neighbour Greece.
“1821”, the documentary telling the story of Greek Independence has devastated the official version of the history in Greece.
Greeks are now quite confused after having had to face completely opposite historical facts on their own history. The documentary showed that harsh Ottoman rule oppressing Greek subjects during centuries was indeed a myth not a fact. Hence, it said the most prosperous era of Greeks was under the Ottoman rule.
It was not limited with that.
It displayed that Greek villagers, exploited by the Christian land lords, were freed by the Ottomans. The documentary defended that it was not true that Ottomans forcibly converted Greeks to Islam. Turks did not slaughter Greeks as it has been taught in the schools up until now, contrary tens of thousands Turks were killed by Greeks during the riots.
The film revealed that after Greece gained independence, they demolished each and every sign associated with Turks. The documentary rocked the most deep rooted bias of the country, causing a great debate over the historical facts.
Ultra-nationals overreacted against the documentary after learning that it was sponsored by a bank of which director was appointed by the Greek government.
The documentary hit the highest rating records on the prime time and confused the minds of Greeks with the contradicting historical facts it displayed.
PS: The documentary “1821” was produced and presented by the Greek writer Petros Tatsopoulos with an impressive team of international historians including William St. Clair of University of London and Thanos Veremis of Athens University. The documentary is sponsored by the National Bank of Greece and is still being aired by the Skai channel in Greece while the arguments over its content are continuing.
There is a link to watch the full documentary in eight episodes but it`s in Greek language only;
