Evlambia Revi, a Greek reporter and presenter from OPEN TV burst into tears on Monday evening while covering the latest developments on the fire-ravaged island of Evia on live television.

During the live report, the journalist met an elderly man who had obvious respiratory problems who had refused to leave his house in the village of Avgaria.

The residents of Avgaria had been ordered by the officials from the European Emergency Number 112 to evacuate just a few minutes earlier.

It's impossible not to binge-watch Brown Girls in one sitting. 

The show centers around Leila, a Pakistani-American writer, and Patricia, a black musician, as they navigate the messy what-ifs of their early 20s (i.e. dead-end jobs vs. pursuing passions, sexual orientation and relationship commitment).

It’s a simple enough premise, but if I could pick a song to describe this series, it would be Solange’s “F.U.B.U.” It’s still extremely rare to see all black and brown faces (in front and behind the camera) in a single show, and Brown Girls portrays certain underrepresented groups still fighting for mainstream TV airtime.  

Fatimah and Sam’s work really moved me. From the writing to the production value, this show connected in a way that just felt so authentic and relatable. As well, this web series was a refreshing depiction of life outside of NYC or LA and a reminder that great media and art exists in other vibrant cities, like Chicago.

Recently I chatted with the two creators about the response Brown Girls has received, the importance of diversity in television and film and what it's like to receive recognition from HBO and the Emmy Awards. The duo was also recently named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30″ Hollywood and Entertainment List.

A “mob” of some 15 men attacked a crew of private Open TV

The mob punched in the face Kostas Alatzas, assaulted the cameraman and even stole his bag with personal belongings and pushed Spyraki8 inside the car.

She said said later with a broken voice that four policemen were very close and did nothing other than watching.

The attitude of the police raises questions and everybody is waiting for some official statement.

The “mob” was not some residents in ooutrage but an organized group wearing black clothes and with shaved heads. Swears were heard normally common in the far-right political front.
