Tokei Maru

2018 · 20m · Documentary · Animation

Almost a century has passed since the tragic events that led to the expatriation of Asia Minor’s Greek population and the Great fire of Smyrna, this animation pays homage to the brave Japanese captain of the cargo ship Tokei Maru, who let go of the ship’s valuable merchandise in order to save the Ionian refugees from drowning. An act of sheer heroism that is threatened to fall into historical oblivion.
