Running with Pirates

A journey of freedom, adventure, and family bonds in the heart of the Greek Islands.
At eighteen, Kári Gíslason arrives in Corfu after a life-altering encounter with his father in Iceland. Drawn to adventure, he stays, meeting 'the Pirate,' a mysterious Greek who offers work. He finds himself fleeing the island, promising to repay a debt.

Decades later, a father himself, Kári returns to Corfu with his teenage sons. Revisiting his memories, he understands how this place shaped him and the inevitable letting go of his children that lies ahead. Running with Pirates explores parenthood, youth's fearlessness, past debts, and the stories we share.
