Macedonian Movie "Miss Stone" (part 5)

Macedonian movie from 1958.
The resistance against the Ottoman Empire in Macedonia is rising. Numerous bands of "komiti" prove the readiness of the Macedonian people to fight for their freedom. At the same time different religious missions are trying to spread their influence among the people. The center of the American Protestant Mission is in Salonica. After they had received permission to open a protestant course in Bansko, Pirin-Macedonia, the missionaries were on their way. The group of missionaries consists of the American Miss Helen Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Tsilka, ethnic Macedonians raised in America. Their leaving Salonica will be used by the organization called VMRO (Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization) as means of drawing the attention of world public opinion towards the situation in Macedonia and to raise money for the armaments of new groups of freedom fighters. This is why the men of Jane Sandanski kidnap Helen Stone and asks for 25. OOO golden liras ransom from the Turkish Government. In the beginning, Miss Stone, being a pacifist, disapproves of the "komiti" but later, witnessing what the Macedonian people have to stand to survive and going through combat actions with the Turks, she turns to the side of the "komiti" and writes the letter by which the demands of the VMRO will be realized.
