The new home

About This Movie

So, 'The New Home' is a documentary that dives deep into the Armenian refugee communities that took root in Greece after the Asia Minor disaster. The tone is reflective, almost somber at times, as it contrasts the past with the present-day hustle of Athens. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing you to absorb the weight of history while also observing these kids at Neos Kosmos Primary School trying to hold onto their Armenian roots. It’s interesting how it captures modern life against a backdrop of such rich history. The performances come from real people, which adds an authenticity that's hard to find in more scripted narratives. There’s a real care in the way it portrays identity and belonging, which is quite distinctive.
