Freedom or death is the true theme of this movie.
I went to see Cliffs of Freedom Film with my husband. We truly enjoyed it. It does a good job at paying homage to our modern Greek history. While the main characters are fictional, they are supported by historical characters.
The story takes place during an actual historical event, the Battle of Valtetsi, and gives references to others that we, as Greeks know of very well, like the beloved Souliotises & the Filiki Etairia.
Anna Christina becomes the Greek heroine that we want & expect her to be. The real theme that came across to us was "freedom or death". The romance helps to create emotional conflict, and is not the typical Hollywood romance, but rather respects the integrity of the time period it is from.
