In the Footsteps of the Argonauts

Trabzon (Trapezounta), "the fairest city of all”, as Patriarch John the VIII of Constantinople called it in the 11th century, was the Greek capital of the East for over two millennia. It has been a crossroads for civilizations and commercial relations, a center of military and political interest. At its peak it was the capital of an empire, the Comnenus Empire. This historical documentary records the rise and fall of the civilization of the Greeks of Pontus, which ended with the great persecution and genocide of this population by the Young Turks at the dawn of the 20th century.
