AGORA – FROM DEMOCRACY TO THE MARKET

Greece-Germany-Qatar 2015 117 DCP Color-B&W

Film description

Greece is enduring social conditions that no one in post-war Europe thought they would ever face again. The dream of prosperity has turned into a nightmare and the political scene of the last four decades has been turned on its head. After 13 years of documenting timely issues around the world, Yorgos Avgeropoulos urgently turns his camera on his homeland. He documents the development of the crisis since its early stages, while tracing its impact on the lives of ordinary people whom he observes over time. He witnesses the development of solidarity movements, as well as the rise of fascism, while at the same time he seeks answers from his country’s most significant political figures, from insiders, analysts and key decision makers from the international political scene.
