ANDREA’S RETURN, 1953-1967

Through rare archival material and through the memories of people who were very close to Andreas Papandreou, this documentary brings to life a period of fourteen years of Papandreou’s political career as well as of Greek history. The film begins with Andrea Papandreou’s first trip to Greece, in 1953, after a thirteen-year stay in the US. This is followed by two subsequent visits, his permanent move back to Greece, which is marked by the founding of the Centre for Economic Research, his entry into politics and the unfolding of his political career. The film ends with Papandreou leaving Greece once again, after the enforcement of the military dictatorship of 21 April 1967.
