24"

The debt of democracy is a sync sound documentary from Greece, the European country which suffered the most severe diktat from the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. News and reflections from a debilitated country, constantly shaken by the nightmare that is an uncontrollable public debt in a crisis which has threatened to upset the entire European monetary system.

The testimonies from the characters and analysis from scholars and journalists are the central theme of this documentary. A precious voice and careful analysis on a country which made the whole world hold its breath. The crib of democracy and civility turned to a lab of liberal politics with their unfortunate consequences.

A country torn between a scandalous and corrupted past and an uncertain future, a crisis which is not just economical, but a crisis in values and common identity which uncovered the fragile state of a Europe more and more exposed to financial speculations.
