PODCAST | Cristiana Palmieri interviews Marianna Economou, director of the film When Tomatoes Met Wagner.
Marianna talks about her motivation to make the documentary and how meeting the people in that tiny community made a huge impact on her, both at professional and personal level.
When Tomatoes Met Wagner: Aleco and Christo are cousins who run an organic farm in rural Greece, growing tomatoes with the help of some hard-working old ladies – and classical music blasted across the fields. Packing their lovingly grown produce as expensive specialty meals for overseas consumers, they struggle to compete in a trendy market. Marianna Economou’s documentary is an engaging, funny and melancholy study of hope amidst financial crisis.
