Summary

THE NEW GREEK AMERICANS 1960-2018 is the third and final documentary of our trilogy. The story begins with the 60s as young Greek Americans embrace the changing times despite their conservative upbringings. Each decade influences the Greek community with events such as the Civil Rights Movement, Invasion of Cyprus and the nomination of Michael S. Dukakis for President of the United States. Heartfelt and humorous stories are shared reflecting "Growing up Greek." Second and third generations actively participate in their beloved ancestral heritage, but is it enough to keep Greek culture alive in America? Academy Award winner, Olympia Dukakis, graces us again as our host and narrator.
