Description:
City of Ghosts follows the true stories of two men who, in effort to provide for their families, left their native countries of Ukraine and Bulgaria for work under the guise of better pay and opportunity. Upon arrival at a farm in Greece, both men, passports taken from them, must decide how to survive and escape back to their home countries. After months of forced labor, Uri sees (from a distance) his home country of Ukraine under the earliest state of attack and risks his life to escape with the intention of finding his family. Upon Uri’s disappearance, his counterpart Rosen must pick up where he left off.
