We are deep into the heart of summer, a time when many Greeks from around the world return home to visit the cities and villages of their families. We at Cosmos Philly feel that same pull — the desire to reconnect with what is meaningful and beautiful about our heritage.
This two-part video documentary, Life in a Greek Village (Vlahokerasia, Arcadia) on a Hot August Day, captures that feeling. It reflects the scenes and traditions our families still talk about, the kind that linger in memory long after summer ends.
The film is directed by Angelike Contis, a journalist and documentary filmmaker whose work has been featured at festivals and on television around the world.
