A Roma father from Sofades, Karditsa, Vaios, dared to go against everything — as he recounts in the new protothema series THEMA UNCUT, hosted by Frixos Drakontidis. He grew up within the strict, unwritten rules of his community, yet he chose not to follow them.

He did not arrange engagements for his daughters as children, nor did he submit to customs that have kept generations trapped. Instead of tradition, he chose education. Instead of silence, he chose freedom.

The well-known videographer of Roma weddings speaks to the camera about everything he has seen through his lens: lavish gifts, dowries worth thousands of euros, family disputes, and the so-called “Gypsy agreements” that even settle divorces.

At the same time, he voices his support for increased policing in Roma settlements — and explains why — offering a different, more mature perspective on the future of Roma communities.

He even reveals that he himself has been a victim of theft by other Roma, sharing his personal reality far from the stereotypes that often dominate the public view.
