"Kali Nihta, Socrates" ("Good Night, Socrates") is a story-documentary film about the destruction of a small Greek community in Chicago to make way for urban renewal. As the film was being shot, Chicago's Greektown was being razed to make space for the Kennedy Expressway and the new campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. It captures the real-life destruction of buildings and culture as seen through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy of Greek descent.
