Abstract: A Greek diaspora online media based in Australia has recently published a news item regarding the Greek dramatic TV series named “To Kokkino Potami” (Red River) which is said to have been broadcasted in Greek Open TV channel from October 6, 2019 to July 13, 2020 in 32 episodes. According to mentioned news item, the said historic romantic drama series is “based on the homonymous novel by Haris Tsirkinidis detailing the real events surrounding the Greek Pontian genocide”, and “follows the real-life story of a young couple from Pontos, a then Greek-populated region on the southern coast of the Black Sea during the 19th century.” As per the TV series’ director Manousos Manousakis, “One of the main aims of this series, is for the Greek Pontian genocide to be globally recognized and not just for our satisfaction and for the feeling of fairness as Greeks, but because a crime that is not punished historically keeps on getting repeated
