Kastellorizo - Yesterday and Today

The history of Kastellorizo from 1800 until today through the voice of Mihalis Hondros, former mayor and editor of the local Kastellorizo newspaper.

Do you remember this iconic photo from the Iraq war?‬

‪This was 5-year-old Samar Hassan in 2005, just moments after American soldiers killed her parents at a checkpoint in Iraq. Photographer Chris Hondros had been embedded with the unit in Tel Afar, and happened to capture a reality rarely seen by the American public. Though her face became a defining image of the war, Samar didn't learn that until 2011, after Chris was killed in Libya.

Last night, I watched Hondros: A Documentary Film, a powerful work seemingly about Chris’s life, but even more so about a theme central to his work: accountability in war‪. 

Over and over, the film returned to the people whose faces were made famous by Chris' photos—a young soldier in Liberia, a family in Iraq. But one scene in particular was among the most arresting of any film I've watched in years. It featured Samar, the girl in the photo, who's now 18. Filmmaker Greg Campbell spent time with one of the soldiers who'd shot at Samar's parents. He was broken, and wanted so badly to tell Samar's family how sorry he was. So Greg went back to Iraq to track down Samar, and found her. He told her about the soldier and his remorse, and here's how Samar responded:‬

"No one ever told me he was sorry. Is sorry going to bring them back? No, it won't. I'll never forgive them... 

If they were ‬in front of me, I would want to drink their blood—and still I would not feel satisfied"

Retrospective – Photojournalist Chris Hondros

Beginning with the war in Kosovo in 1999, Chris Hondros served as a witness to conflict for over a decade, becoming one of the most influential photojournalists of all time before being killed in Libya in 2011. In the new documentary Hondros, executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal and premiering today at Tribeca, director and childhood friend Greg Campbell creates a collage portrait of a man with not only great depth and sensitivity, but a passion for his craft and an unending talent for creating breathtaking imagery.
