In recent decades the Greek island of Samothrace has suffered a series of environmental,
social and financial hardship, but there are reasons to hope. The film "WINGS OF
SAMOTHRAKI – follows and documents an ambitious research project that aims at assisting
island's inhabitants in establishing a vision of a sustainable future for Samothrace. The
research project, led by the Austrian Professor Marina Fischer-Kowalski and supported by an
international research team depends on the active participation of the local community. It
aims at addressing current challenges by developing long-term strategies to maintain a
balance between economic and social well-being and the preservation of the island's
environmental and cultural assets. This example can inspire similar efforts around the world.
