The Visionary of Spetses

The fascinating story of Sotirios Anargyros, who, starting out from the island of Spetses in the mid-19th century, went on to become one of the most prominent Greek entrepreneurs and benefactors of his time.

The documentary traces Anargyros’ remarkable personal journey, from shipping and emigration to his rise in America as a tobacco magnate, and ultimately his return to Spetses, where he radically transformed his native island. Through the portrait of a man who navigated the worlds of entrepreneurship and visionary ambition, the film brings to light a legacy that continues to shape the life and identity of Spetses -and Greece- to this day.
