Searching for Rodakis
In 1887, Chrysoula died at the age of 17 and was buried in the floor of their house in a small village 100 km from Istanbul. 37 years later, Chrysoula's family was deported to Northern Greece due to the population exchange, leaving her buried in the floor of the house. 100 years later, a family living in this old house found Chrysoula's tombstone while repairing the floor. The film's story is director Kerem Soyyılmaz's personal story about the discovery of the stone in 2016, the search for the stone's family, and the search that ended in Thessaloniki in 2022. Searching for Rodakis is a documentary that unites the peoples of Turkey and Greece through a tombstone and brings new approaches while reviewing historical disconnects. It is a meaningful story about the effect of religion-based segregation on the simple lives of simple people, which was overlooked in the process of nation-state creation, in the 100th anniversary of the population exchange and the republic.
