Dear William,
Thank you for this beautiful interview for the 100 years of turkish-greek relations.
In the podcast you mentioned a documentary film by Iraklis Milas, called The Other Town, being available on DailyMotion. I looked for it but couldn’t find it, would you by chance know where we can find it and watch it?
Thank you in advance for your time,
with kind regards,

Hi Mairi
You’re welcome, thank you for listening. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find it online either, just trailers.
Try emailing Samim to see if he knows more. His email is akgonul[at]unistra.fr.
