In Greece, the practice of cremation has been a taboo for decades, both for politicians and the Orthodox Church. It took 23 years of fight, on many levels, to have finally legislation to allow the creation of the first crematorium in Greece. The Promise records the political dimension of this fight, which a man gave almost all alone.
