A cinematic record of culture, memory, and identity
As we live and observe life in its entirety, we realize that nothing can be sustained, nothing survives without a base, without roots. Moreover, technology and science are barren without art. Tradition is the base of everything, it’s the root of art and culture. The documentary “From self-reliance to mastery, Kanakis Yeronimakis. An elementary student as an ambassador of tradition” stands as a big thank you to the person, who, through his life achievements, showed respect, appreciation and gifted us with the values of life. The same values which strengthen the roots and the foundations of life and contribute to a healthy development and a sustainable enhancement of the next generation.
