"Why do they all hate us" ? Says Giannis in the movie RIse. Disney ignores all the interviews Giannis and his family made in real life , in order to create this nerative, that of Racism , and how a family united overcomes everything. Its a shame because the whole cast of actors play very well , and they could have promoted multi-cultiralism by showing his actual story, where he had friends, schoolmates , teammates and people in the community helping them and sharing his joy. Instead they showed that everyone with the exception of his coach and manager hated them, and always putted them down. A far cry from the truth.
Disney wanted to write an African story, with as little of "Europe" as possible.
Or more correctly, showing their "Version" of Greece. One of hatred and Crooks. Makes you wonder why Giannis or any of the family would want to be in Greece or be Greek in the first place the way the portraited his life. Or why he would visit a country each year that wronged him that much.
Missed chance by Disney 5/10.
