The Greek “No”, Ten Years On

The Greek “No”, Ten Years On

The Greek crisis defined me as a organiser. It was an intense period, with a tragic outcome, that spawned many activist and creative projects.

So I particularly enjoyed having a conversation with one of its main players — my colleague Yanis Varoufakis, who was Greece’s finance minister at the time. And the film-maker Raoul Martinez, who made a brilliant six-part documentary about the Greek crisis and the systemic failures that made it happen.

It was an enlightening, insightful and yes, at times emotional discussion. Hope you enjoy it.
