On Monday, October 14, the show “Faraway Words” will pay tribute to Georgios Bizos, an iconic figure in the Greek diaspora. His name has become legendary in South Africa, symbolizing the fight against racial discrimination worldwide.
Joining Natasa Vissarionos at 12:00 PM (Athens time) Alexis Bizos, the son of Georgios Bizos, will share insights about his father, their close relationship with Nelson Mandela, and his father’s defense during the notable trial, as well as the legal battles fought by Georgios Bizos against apartheid.
This conversation is sparked by the screening of the documentary “Georgios Bizos: Odyssey to Freedom,” which is currently being shown in Georgios Bizos’s hometown in Messinia and in Athens.
