Magna Graecia: a visit to the Greko of Reggio trailer

This is a short trailer for a documentary we shot based on our visit to the region of Calabria, with an emphasis on the Greek founded Reggio. We also visit Bova Marina, Pentedattilo, Condofuri Marina and Locri. The actual film is 36 minutes.

The documentary itself is in memory of Greko poet, Francesca Tripodi. You can hear her in this trailer singing in the background.

Thank you to Carmelo Nucera, Maria Olimpia Squillaci, Danilo Pandelis Brancati, Eleonora Petrulli, Pat Porpiglia, a man who translated for me twice in 17 years and Apodiafazzi Cultural Association in Reggio.

This is the third of three documentaries we shot in Magna Graecia. I was due back last year, but the pandemic made it hard. Please take the time to support the work being undertaken to preserve Greko in Calabria. Their are campaigns, associations and language lessons. Help the Greko and you will be investing in history past and future. The young people I met here show that the language and culture will remain forever.
