Film: From the Edge of the City, by Constantine Giannaris

A powerful and provocative film about a group of outcast teenagers living in Menidi, a predominately Greek-Russian suburb on the periphery of Athens, and who prostitute themselves in search of an easy but costly gain. Filmed with a pseudo-documentary style–the actors gathered together by Giannaris had no prior acting experience—the film exposes the hard edges of post-Soviet migration and the complex, and often tragic, process of assimilation and its failures. View film series.
