RIP Mikis Theodorakis

[thimios]

These days here in Greece we are mourning a giant. The great, composer Mikis Theodorakis is no longer with us. But he is in our minds and hearts forever.

And a scene from a Greek movie with another great one, Thanasis Veggos and his adventures with Mikis Theodorakis' banned songs during military junta. You don't need to understand the language.
