Festival des Libertés (Belgium, 22-31 October 2015). International Competition.
“From 2010 to 2014, the Greek population had to bear the brunt of austerity measures implemented by the European troika. Popular mobilizations against austerity policies escalated whilst racism rose. Why did the Greek public choose to put Syriza in power instead of the Golden Dawn? This documentary is essential to have a better grasp of the current events in Greece.”
