Macedonian Movie "The Assassins from Salonica" (Solunskite Atentatori)

1903: Wishing to draw the attention of world public opinion to the situation in Macedonia under Ottoman rule, a group of young ethnic Macedonian intellectuals, sons of wealthy merchants from Veles, who live and study in Salonica, and who are strongly influenced by Russian nihilist literature and the Geneva anarchists, decide in April 1903 to make a series of attacks on various business concerns in which foreign capital has been invested. The targets of the attacks are the French vessel "Guadalquivir", the Ottoman Bank, the Electricity plant and the G. P. O. in Salonica. The achievement of their aims means death for the activists themselves. But they give up their lives willingly for a holy cause - the freedom of Macedonia.
