Click here to access introduction. This is a 28:03m film by Jerome Roos, Leonidas Oikonomakis, Andres Cornejo from Reflections on a Revolution. (Note: Although the interviews are conducted in English, I strongly recommend that North American viewers use the version below which includes English subtitles.)
After more than a year of protests and continuing austerity crushing down on the Greek people, you may be wondering where they are in their political consciousness. In this film using the backdrop of the protests, riots, and police attacks, the filmmakers interview Greeks from various stations in life to offer their views on this subject. I think what they are saying to us is that they have been on a journey that has taken them from political innocence with all of its illusions about bourgeois democracy to a much more realistic consciousness of how their society is governed. As a result they are turning away from conventional political institutions and starting to create their own institutions. But, view it and see what it says to you.
