The Greeks of Calabria with Billy Cotsis

Greeks are well and truly everywhere, and few people know this better than writer, documentary filmmaker and Greek raconteur, Billy Cotsis. Billy joins Tom and Nick in The Distillery to discuss his latest film; ‘Magna Graecia: the Greko of Calabria’, developed in collaboration with Basil Genimahaliotis, which focuses on the Greko communities of Calabria in the southernmost part of the Italian peninsula. This unique community have maintained millennia-old links to their ancient and medieval Hellenic past through their language and culture. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Billy has seen and met Greeks in the unlikeliest of places – and has the stories to prove it.Send us Fan MailSupport the showEmail us at [email protected] to our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalkFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/
