This first TV spot highlights some of the main characteristics of the character of Greeks and Hellenes throughout the centuries, such as valour, fortitude, self-sacrifice and philanthropy, while at the same time it stresses the need for Hellenes everywhere to remain committed to their religious faith, the universal ideals that as a civilization they have given birth to, as well as to the great vision of freedom.
