Μy Name is Stelios

“I’m delighted to have the opportunity, through this film, to talk about something I know all too well: disability. I can tell you what it is to be disabled. For the past 25 years, that is to say, from the day I was born, I have been living a life that I did not choose but that was simply my lot. My name is Stelios Kympouropoulos, otherwise known as ‘the flag-bearer from Koropi’ or ‘the kid on tV.’ I hear the two latter descriptions when I try to negotiate the inhospitable streets of athens.” Stelios
Over the course of one year, we videotaped the daily life of our quadriplegic friend Stelios and his family’s struggle for him to live as an equal among us. My Name Is Stelios is the result of this project.
