Cliffs of Freedom

Honestly, it was great.. What an amazing period drama with strong emotions and ethical views like honor, friendship, love, duty etc.. Epic battle scenes, a tragic love story and historical references.. the cast is fantastic and the acting really good.. honestly, I liked it a lot!

This story was severely handicapped by poor dialogue and choppy directing. There's some good acting, but it has to overcome so much poor writing. Yet, the story is compelling, I wish it had been told better.

This is a great epic film about the sufferings the greeks endured from the turks in the time of the 1821 rebellion to the turks rule. u get to see how the greeks suffered what they endured and a great love story between a greek woman fighter and a turk who was compassioned to the greeks. full of emotion u never get bored this film is a must have especially for those who are interested in greek history. grade // A

I was an extra on it (filmed outside Santa Fe, NM) back in late 2016. Many hardships getting it done, marching in the heat, stories of broken-limbs, etc. (I myself could only handle a day filming the 'capture the Greek princess' hillside battle before jumping ship), but glad Mr. Ling's work is finally seeing the light of day and an important chapter in mediterranean history is reaching the public eye.

The story behind this tale is a present to all those having never even heard of the actual atrocities and human rights abuse against the Greek people and culture that lasted for 400 years. In today's "live-for-this-minute" philosophy, little is spoken of discrimination, gender equality and human rights from that period. This movie does all that and more! The brilliantly acted character of Anna Christina, through personal tragedy and through enormous conflict and sacrifice, takes action against the oppressive empire to fight for liberty and freedom for herself, her community and her country at the expense of her own happiness. The selfless Anna Christina can be considered a modern day warrior who inspires justice and good. She is a super-power with whom not to be reckoned. Kudos to the brave production team and the outstanding cast who bring this compelling story to life in the 21st C.

March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation is Greek Independence Day. This movie is about the struggle of the Greek peoples to partially free themselves from the Ottoman Empire in the 1820s. There were villains on both sides. There were people with redeeming qualities on both sides. I love the way it was explained about how we remember things both at the beginning of the movie and at the end. Would love to read the story it is based on. Bravo!

This movie is beautifully done in every aspect. It's a historical piece that is educational about the struggle for power between the Greeks and Turks. The acting, costumes, and cinematography are all lovely and on point. The love story is deeply captivating and touches the heart. It's wonderful to see a strong and powerful woman as the lead as well. The message of love between opposing sides and the ultimate attempt to attain peace and a fair democracy is also great.
