Mikis Theodorakis - The Man The Genius The Legend

Acclaimed as Greece's 'greatest living composer' Mikis Theodorakis' life reads like a films script. A child prodigy, Theodorakis taught himself to write songs without access to musical instruments. His is a journey of great proportions, changing the face of Greek music, alongside a backdrop of political turmoil during which he was tortured and thrown into exile. Now a statesman, Theodorakis has become almost as well known for his impact on politics as on the international music scene.
