128 KERATEA: A TRUE STORY

The documentary 128 Keratea: A True Story records the titanic efforts of the residents of a small rural town to repeal a political decision that imposed the creation of a huge landfill site in a forested area of outstanding natural beauty within an archaeological site. For the 128 days that the violent confrontation between the residents of the Lavrion Peninsula and the central government lasted, the camera of the filmmakers was next to the two warring sides and realistically captured the extreme conflict that broke out within a conservative society, where the dangerous escalation of violence triggered global interest. Some of the participants share their stories and talk about the bloody events and the open wounds left on the psyche of the local community.
