The article provides a preview of a film documentary in process that gives us a view of current living conditions in Greece. We see in crisis-ridden Greece the same phenomenon we always see when the capitalist system breaks down and causes the disintegration of entire societies: the rise of fascist parties espousing racist, xenophobic ideas to distract attention away from the real sources of the crisis. However, as this preview shows, the people are engaged in self-organizing projects to insure their survival and to counter ruling class propaganda, the hooliganism of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, and the austerity policies of Europe's financial elites.
Portraits of Greece in Crisis is a series of independent and self-funded mini-documentaries about the Greek crisis. An ongoing project that was created in order to fulfill the need for an alternative crisis narrative, against an unprecedented big media propaganda.
Portraits of people through the daily routine of which the Greek crisis is being described, portraits of institutions that are collapsing and of conceptions that are being distorted during a crisis that is economic, political, cultural, moral and social.
