Synopse
We went to Athens to see what a European crisis looked like, what the EU measures had done to the country. In three years the European media had created an image of a population that do not pay taxes, live on loans and work too little. An image still reproduced by northern Europeans. Once in Greece, we met solidarity and resourcefulness to be envied. Political discussions that made the public discourse in Northern Europe look like a joke. We met many Greeks our own age (educated, but there are no jobs), we saw tourism of Greece, where profits hit records. People we met in cafés for interviews refused to let us pay. We want to provide a space for “the missing media image” of Greece. And what about Sweden, are we having a crisis? If not, why is the unemployment growing? Why are fascist ideas taking hold? What if “the lazy Greek” is a myth established in order to maintain our own sense of security?
