WE FIRST CALL GEORGE

The LM village was created to be used for several years as a holiday resort for Greek army officers. It has recently changed its use into a refugee hospitality center. George Aggelopoulos is offering his services as a volunteer manager of the center.

Director's interview

It is my belief that any person, anywhere, has an important story to tell. The film should be based on the issue of immigration. I therefore decided to visit the LM Village which is a hospitality centre for immigrants and is close to where I live. While I feel  that I am blessed to be living in a free country, I felt the guilt of having a better fortune in life than the immigrants. I also realized that a change of fortune can easily shift our lives into their stance and condition. I believe that there are various ways to block out the evil but only through education one can moderate the stupidity of racism.
