With a new documentary «13 Knocking at my door», comes to London the renowned journalist-director Athina Krikeli of New York, to approach the story in her own journalistic perspective: The before and after of the fatal explosion of July 11th 2011 at the Naval Base Evangelos Florakis of Cyprus.

The explosion of a strange cargo shook the foundation of the Naval Base and of the EAC Power Plant
nearby, as well as the foundation of the entire country. The shooting process of the documentary lasted 3 months, while more than 35 interviews were performed so that the viewers would be able to follow the events before and after the explosion. The tragic aftermath of the explosion was: 13 dead and 62 wounded.

This documentary film is an effort to document both the loss of 13 people and also the indifference of many others, before and after the tragic event.
« It has been the most difficult documentary film - states its creator Athina Krikeli - not only because of the nature of its subject, but because of the 'obstacles' that many had created for us. It was a difficult process on our part - a struggle of low profile and quick movements so we would not be caught in the tentacles of bureaucracy. Certainly out of the 30 documentaries I have created till today, this one affected me the most! It had opened my eyes to an unpleasant side of Cyprus, while at the same time I met there some of the most wonderful Greeks»!

The première of the film took place in Cyprus, at the Zena Palace theatre of Nicosia, on January 13th 2013. The date was chosen by Athina Krikeli herself in honour of the 13 victims. Many performances followed in all cities of Cyprus, as well as in the city of Thessaloniki Greece.
