Product Description

A tribute to the modern Greek heroes--the men and women who came to America with little more than their optimism about life in a new land. They changed the cultural landscape of America with their accomplishments in the arts, politics, business, and education. Prominent Greek Americans tell the stories of their families and describe the enduring value of their Greek heritage and traditions.

Includes two programs, one that focuses on the experiences of first-generation Greek Americans and one that describes the challenges and rewards of passing the torch to the next generation.
The Greek Americans--Narrated by Roger Caras and featuring actors Olympia Dukakis, John Stamos, and Billy Zane; former football player and actor Alex Karras, sportscaster Bob Costas, tennis champion Pete Sampras, CIA director George Tenet, U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes, and many others.
The Greek Americans II: Passing the Torch--Narrated by Ike Pappas and featuring actor Melina Kanakaredes, former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, and author Nicholas Gage, and many others.

Customer Reviews

If you are greek american
If you are greek american you will truly appreciate this documentary. It will ring true to a life that we have all experienced in america. It may even make you feel like calling your cousins across the states just to tell them how much you love them!

Every Greek American should watch and be pround
This is not only good for Greeks to watch, but also for the non Greek friends (if they have any LOL) to watch as well. Really good for the young Greek children to watch as well
