Those Who Touched War (2026, dir Io Chaviara and Michalis Kastanidis)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c4aFCE1Kuk

Original title (EL): Αυτοί που άγγιξαν τον πόλεμο (Aftoí pou ángixan ton pólemo, Those Who Touched War)

The PYRKAL ammunition factory once supplied wars all over the world. Today, it lies abandoned. As a high-risk decontamination effort uncovers explosives still buried beneath its soil, four former workers guide us through its ruins and their memories – their pride in their craft, their sorrow for its tragedies, and the contradictions of making a living producing death.

Movie database has language as Greek? (GR)

I refer to the ISO 639 list of language names and codes when labeling foreign film titles.

The Greek word for the modern Greek language is ελληνικά (el-len-ni-KA), so ISO 639 gave it the abbreviation "EL".

This gets legitimately confusing when languages don't neatly match up with the country names like "Deutsch" (DE) for German, "Gaeilge" (GA) for Irish Gaelic, Burmese (MY) for Myanmar, etc, so I keep that ISO list handy and refer to it a ton.

Edit: Well shit; I've been labeling Japanese wrong this whole time. It's apparently supposed to be "JA", not "JP". Which is already weird since it's actual name is 日本語 (ni-HON-go).

Double checking I misunderstood the code next to release year. It's ISO 3166-1
