Trailer Synopsis

Two hundred years after the outbreak of the Greek Revolution and twelve years after the outbreak of an unprecedented economic crisis, we turn our gaze to the past to be able to imagine the future. Unfortunately, the crisis has taught us to look at the past exclusively from its own perspective. Naturally, depression and pessimism prevailed. Are we worthy and capable of something better?

The country’s participation in the euro will lead to a new period of economic growth and unprecedented prosperity. At the same time, however, there is a major challenge: the economy needs to be reorganized, public debt reduced, competitiveness increased and critical areas such as public administration, justice, health and education reformed. Only in this way will Greece be able to reduce its distance from the rich countries of Europe and ensure its prosperity. Otherwise, it will be vulnerable to the first storm.

After the Asia Minor Catastrophe, the country’s big bet is to replace the Great Idea with a new national vision. And this is nothing more than achieving prosperity instead of territorial expansion.

In 1921, Greece celebrates the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution. The triumph of the Balkan Wars has preceded while the Greek army is already in Smyrna.

January. 07,2022
Gaining independence may have been a huge success, but it was only the first step. The new state of the Greeks is tiny and powerless. The state apparatus is non-existent and central power is challenged by everyone: armed militants, local leaders and robbers. As modern experience shows, building a functioning state is much more difficult than gaining your independence.

January. 06,2022

How did the triumph of independence finally emerge from the disaster?

20/20
20/20 is an American television newsmagazine that has been broadcast on ABC since June 6, 1978. Created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, the show was designed similarly to CBS's 60 Minutes but focuses more on human interest stories than international and political subjects. The program's name derives from the "20/20" measurement of visual acuity. The hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Thursdays in September 1987, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.
