Summary:

"Kehagias - the man of the earth" is an ethnographic documentary filmed in Lemnos, the lowmost of the Aegean islands.

The Lemnian agro-breeder, the kehagias - according to the oral tradition of the place that gave birth to him - was a multifaceted and turbulent concept, mostly misunderstood. The documentary, through the narrative speech of the kehayades and their lived experience, comes to fill the already existing gap of official memory and local history for the existence of the group itself. Memories, oblivions, silences and identities help to illuminate the rural, economic and social history of the island, a mainly evolutionary basis. The history of the kehagiades group is nothing but a history lived from below, by subjects who until recently had no right to the official or written history and institutional memory of Lemnos.
