ASTRAPOGIANNOS (1970)

STRAPOGIANNOS is a 1970 Greek film produced by Finos Films and directed by Nikos Tzimas. It is a fictional tale based upon a historical figure of 18th century central Greece.

PLOT:
Astrapoyannos, a hero from an old time, the time that real heroes existed. This is Astrapoyannos. A man with honour, a man who has fought for his country freedom, and now fights so as to clear out his fellow-countrymen ("kotzambasides", "prouchontes") who happened to be rich and took the place of the former conquerors; they have bought the land. And these men torture the poor ("kolligous") even harder. The hero of the Greek Revolution, Giannos "Astrapogiannos", returns home after the end of the War of Independence, only to find himself in a new conflict, as he locks horns with a ruthless local Kodjabashis
