A film with Poor script and poor direction .. The movie doesn't surprise or excite you.

Within the war-hostile climate of the era two families meet in a monastery to make a wedding a secret. But that does not go unnoticed. A betrayal will lead thousands of Turkish soldiers out of the monastery. The abbot of the monastery, the monks and the members of the two families, grab arms and Siege begins. Along with her, a survival struggle and a circle of revelations are also beginning. The story unfolds on the big screen, through the discussion of two officers of the Greek army, at the Rupel Fort in March 1941. "Siege" is part of Aratos Films' trilogy for 1821. We recall that the much-discussed "Exit 1826" by Vassilis Tsikaras was the first. It was the first film about 1821 after 46 years (Papaflessas, 1971). The Ministry of Education and the Institute of Educational Policy have described the film as "high-quality", in its historical, cultural and educational excellence.

Four years of research, study and work ... two different cities (Giannitsa and Thessaloniki) and a lot of love for Greek history needed to shoot the new film about the revolution of 1821. After 46 years from "Papaflessas" while we are approaching 200 years since the palligennesia our nation.

The film "Exodus 1826" describes the story of 120 men from Samarina, Grevena and the surrounding villages, who rushed to help in the Mesolongi Exit in April 1826.

It is an independent production. The direction and the script are by Vasilis Tsikaras

It all started about 4 years ago when the director, Vasilis Tsikiras, reading about the revolution of 1821, was particularly moved by the story of ... the children of Samarina, and he wanted to understand the verse of the folk song "Children of Samarina".
