A group of friends making short videos and raw outtakes with messages about Greece, bureaucracy, history and light hearted entertainment as well as quick vids from Brasil and other exotic places. Hope you enjoy as much as we have.
Magna Graecia: Griko of Apulia Volume 1
An award winning film set in the Griko towns of Apulia, with music from the great George Ellis, Minas Midis, Tassos Bouzouki, Kenny Bradfield.
There are 13 Griko towns of Apulia in Salentina. Nine of the towns have people who speak the dialect as a first language. This is an ancient language that goes back to the Ancient Greek colonies when Magna Graecia was all of Southern Italia.
This film was shot with Basil Genimahaliotis and I thank Ida Zerva for her help, friendship and guidance. I have known Ida for a long time and I appreciate her generous heart.
This is volume won, with volume duo to be uploaded in about two weeks time. Please don’t illegally download and then post on your own social media as if it’s your own. We came here and made these projects and it gets tiring when my fellow Greeks use our work without permission. Get off your asses and go visit these towns if you are really interested in their historical significance.
Griko of Apulia is part of a trilogy of films we shot about the Griko and Greko, the latter is the dialect in Calabria.
You may also want to learn these dialects and I encourage you to try. That way we keep the languages going for centuries to come.
My job is to educate the Greek Diaspora and hopefully you will visit the region and also Calabria.
Thanks also to Costa Vertzayias whose book was a treasure trove of information for the Griko towns

What happened from the end of WW2 until 1975 and beyond was an era of meanness and a lack of humanity as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos all experienced war, genocide, political retributions, violence and poverty.

I met two wonderful people in Georgia who showed me what a strong and United Greek community can achieve. Against all odds, Hellenes have survived in Georgia for over 3,000 years, though this is a short film presentation on the modern element, namely Pontians who survived the horrors of genocide and found a safe haven in Georgia. We as Greeks have had great relations with Georgians dating back ...

Awh, that was so heartwarming to see. Another wonderful and extremely appreciated Greko video, from Magna Graecia. You can not be thanked enough!. I think we met in Denver about 25 years ago under less-than-wonderful circumstances (for me). But today, because I know my true heritage and feel strong in it, I can not tell you how grateful I am for your enthusiasm and these videos and how they help me learn more about my Greko family of Magna Graecia (and Syria). I shared this to the Facebook page, Grecanica and encouraged everyone to support your work on our behalf.
Good one Billy, I hope you do many more and all the best to you.

In reality they are Greek speaking Eastern Roman Greek Orthodox Pontians. No lineage to the Ancient Greeks or mainland Greeks as they claim or Billy claims. Greek became the official language of Anatolia under the Eastern Roman Empire.
Nice video. Thank you .Thumbs up
I love Greek food. Yummy!
That's awesome
Cambodia may have as many Greek restaurants as the entire state of California. I'm guessing that the Greeks are a contented people. Content mostly to remain in Greece but vacationing regularly, and content to eat wonderful meals at home.
I'm your new Greek American Sub. I love the Aussies for many reasons but number one is how they fought side by side with us in WW2. Greeks and Aussies saved the world. We ALL know what happened and love you brothers. My parents are from Kallamata and Skopelos.

Haha I always love these little finds. In Manilla there was an Apollo gentleman’s club with the meandro. I thought would be cheeky and ask where the Greeks at…. They thought I wanted a sexual position. Haha😅
@@billywood8870 Yea, I hear that too. My dad was in the merchant Marines for Greece in the after WW2 and told me many stories about the fun they all had in Africa. Greeks had a blast and maybe we have mixed brothers there for sure! I know we are everywhere on this globe and I really like watching you point it out.
