The Last Nomad
Greek Sarakatsani community members, a former group of nomadic animal breeders, share personal experiences and discuss the concept of identity today. The balance between the intangible cultural heritage and the personal experience raises questions about the community’s survival and the possible cultural death. A tribute to collective memory through an experiential journey that sets out from the past, progresses into the present, and contemplates the future.
