Giannis: The Marvelous Journey

Kolos kai vraki.

All my kids are on the national team,

a place that I don't have even a resident permit.

That's so great.

So wonderful.

I grew up in Delta state in Nigeria.

I'm from Igbo. My husband is Yoruba.

My husband said we should leave.

We left...

looking for greener pastures,

looking for better life.

That's why we left.

It was a difficult decision to leave

because I have my child in Nigeria that I'm going to leave.

I left him with grandmom.

It was difficult for me leaving him behind.

I stopped in Greece and said, "Okay,

here's enough. Let's start life here."

The dream of every father is wherever you go,

you should be able to give your children a better education.

I need to look for another good living...

for the next generation after me, which is my children.

So that's why I decided to leave.

As an immigrant, you are nothing.

I would pray,

"God, please have mercy, God."

If you don't give them food today, tomorrow, they'll get sick.

You survive them. You help them.

Be there for them.

Even when I'm tired, even when I'm weak,

I never show them.

In me, I know the future is going to be bright.

I don't give up.

Guys, right now we are in a limousine. Man!

I am out of my mind. I could not have imagined this.

Check this out.

And now Thanasis is getting in.

I jumped.

I hurt myself, I said, "God.

This has changed. My son is going to NBA. God."

He'd send us money.

Starting from that moment, we never lacked.

This is the car, the first car that I drive in my life.

Indicator. Y'all got to indicate.

Here's Ross. He's my... he's my teacher.

You've got to come to a complete stop and wait until traffic is cleared.

Hey, guys. Just to let you guys know, I drive better than him.

He called me, he said, "If you don't come, I'm coming back."

I said, "Don't come back. We're coming.

We are processing the visa."
