‘Into the fire’ – an excellent forty minute film on the plight of immigrants in Greece

May 1, 2013

By Guy Smallman and Kate Mara

 

 

It is hard-hitting documentary which shows the plight of refugees and migrants in Athens. Shot and edited with sensitivity and compassion, it doesn’t pull its punches and makes for harrowing viewing in parts. It gives incredible insights into the reality faced by people who simply want to lead peaceful, normal lives. Its origins go back to this time last year when the two directors went to Athens, with the first GSC delegation, to make a series of short films about austerity. If you know anyone who would like to host the film on their blog or website Guy would love to hear from you at [email protected]
