Director’s Statement

America is a pressure cooker of its own making and this film feels very much like a testimony that the signs of what was about to come were there all along, boiling under the surface. To me, The Rainbow Experiment is nothing less than an imprint of American society, seen from the inside out and through the unencumbered eyes of an alien—in my case, a European and a world citizen, coming both from a country with an almost overblown national pride due to its history (Greece) and another country with no national pride, also due to its history (Germany). In many ways, the United States today feels like an experiment gone wrong. I hope that my film will make it easier to understand why and how.
