We’re excited to share with you that on April 22, Greek communities across the United States will have a rare and meaningful opportunity to come together in cinemas nationwide for a one-night-only event: the historical film Kapodistrias (The Governor), the #5 highest-grossing Greek film of all time, arriving in U.S. theatres through Tanweer and Fathom Entertainment.
Directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Yannis Smaragdis, the film tells the extraordinary true story of Ioannis Kapodistrias, Greece’s first Governor, following the War of Independence. A visionary diplomat and statesman, Kapodistrias devoted his life to the ideals of freedom, unity, and nation-building, laying the foundations of the modern Greek state through courage, integrity, and profound personal sacrifice.
More than a film, Kapodistrias (The Governor) is a powerful journey into our shared history, into the struggles, values, and ideals that shaped our nation. Greek Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens has described the film as “a cardiogram of Greek history,” recognizing its profound emotional and cultural significance.
For Greeks across the diaspora, especially our children and younger generations, this event offers a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with our roots and rediscover an important chapter of our heritage. It is a story that belongs to every Greek, wherever they may live.
Tickets are on sale now for this one-night event on Wednesday, April 22, across theatres in the United States.
