- Synopsis:
2015. Greece, the cradle of democracy, is on the verge of bankruptcy. The Greek people are in sorrow. Europe is under threat and the bailout repayment deadline has arrived. A new left wing party is voted in, with the promise to stand up against the world financial institutions and renegotiate the debt. Public Enemy tells the story of a country which became the public enemy, for the first time Greek politicians and artists talk about their 'war', their hopes, and what really happened beyond the media storytelling. Public Enemy is not just a story about Greece, it tells the story of the mechanics of power, the forces at work which are as relevant now as they were in Ancient Greece. A universal parable for our own time, as debt grips the world in the fallout from war and the pandemic and the banks exert ever greater control on society, Public Enemy is a harbinger of what is to come. Told as a thriller with the backdrop of Greek Tragedy, the film is a unique document, short during 3 years 2017-2019, with the participation, and featuring Yanis Varoufakis and Francois Hollande. - Directors:
