I am Afro Greek

In order for Greece to deal with the pervasive inequality that stems from anti-black rhetoric, Greece as a country needs to address its multicultural reality and engage in racial dialogue with its Afro Greek citizens. This can begin by acknowledging the demographic diversity in all social spheres. In this Afro Greek portraiture film, the lack of visibility and inclusion of Greeks of African descent in the dominant narrative of Greece are highlighted. Black Greeks / Afro Greeks, despite that some now have legal citizenship, are still being seen as foreigners or even referred to as immigrants in the country of their birth and upbringing.
