The Greek Heritage Society of S.CA will premiere “The Promise of Tomorrow 1940-1960,” a documentary highlighting the first generation Greek Americans, at the Boston International Film Festival 2010. The screening will take place at the AMC Lowe’s Boston Common 19 at 175 Tremont Street in Boston, Mass. on April 21, 2010 @ 8:30 P.M. This film is narrated and hosted by Academy Award Winner, Olympia Dukakis.
“The Promise of Tomorrow,” part 2 of a Greek American trilogy, continues the story of the Greek immigrant experience in southern California, beginning with those brave soldiers who fought in WWII. We follow the progeny of the Greek Pioneers as they establish themselves within the community yet struggle with duality – Greek at home and American outside. Determined to get an education and make a good life for themselves and their families, the Greatest Generation generation lives up to
this synonym. In a very short period of time, they become prominent leaders in the arts, business, technology, academia, science and government – virtually all levels of contemporary American society.
The question of identity permeates throughout their adult life: “We are not just Greeks; we are not just Americans, but we are a new breed – Greek Americans!”
Collaborators in the project are writer and director Anna Giannotis, executive producers Zoye Fidler, Shelly Papadopoulos and John Gregory-Panopoulos, Producers, Antonia Lianos, Gus T. Dalis and Harry Ratner, editor Rich Uber and composer Bob Luna, along with many hard-working volunteers and contributors.
The Greek Heritage Society of S. CA extends “Warmest Wishes” to our Patriotes in the greater Boston area. Please come out and support this film which is the universal story of all Greek Americans.
