Lethal Nationalism: Genocide of the Greeks 1913-1923

A historical documentary that for the first time charts Ottoman Empire's and Turkish Nationalists Genocide of its 3,000-year-old ethnic Greek population, it took only 10 years to destroy over 3 Millenia of history.
Since 1913 the Turkish government – including the founder of modern Turkey -- has exterminated or exiled over one million Christians of Greek heritage, collectively over 3 million Christian minorities of Asia Minor were exterminated.
This was the Genocide that set the model for all future Genocides. Turkish governmental denial continues to this day.
The veil of secrecy will be lifted and the story of the Greeks of Asia Minor will be told.
