Greeks and Egyptians are connected by ancient history. Both peoples are descendants of two of the world's oldest known civilisations. • At the start of the 20th century there were about 200,000 Greeks in Egypt. Today, the Greek community there has approximately 1,000 members. • It was a community that once controlled 80 percent of Egypt's financial life, founded the first bank, established the country’s first theatres and cinemas, and produced the first wines and cigarettes. • But this thriving community departed with the rise to power of Gamal Abdel Nasser and pan-Arab nationalism. • This film follows several Greek citizens who undertake a return visit to Egypt, the land where they were born and raised. • They visit their old homes and neighbourhoods as well as former family businesses, and they search for the Egyptian friends they left behind. • Social Media links: • Facebook: / aljazeera • Instagram: https://instagram.com/aljazeera/?ref=... • Twitter: / ajenglish • Website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ • google+: https://plus.google.com/+aljazeera/posts
