A HOLE IN THE WATER

Greece 2008 58 Betacam SP, Color

Film description

One of the biggest road construction projects that has ever been carried out in Thessaloniki was planned sloppily and ineffectively. The government presented it as a project of national importance, but the citizens of Thessaloniki refer to it as a “big mistake”, since it is seriously lacking in many areas. The aesthetic and environmental destruction it will cause is considerable. What led to such a decision? Whom does this solution serve? how attractive is it for car owners? Ηow contradictory and inaccurate was the Minister of the Environment’s presentation of the project to Parliament? Why did the deputies react? how far are the citizens of Thessaloniki prepared to go in order for the project not to be implemented? The documentary features deputies, organization spokespeople, scientists, but also ordinary citizens who offer evidence against the project.

i There are no scheduled screenings.
