Synopsis: Based on the privatisation steps to be done by Greece according to the Troika, Aris Chatzistefanou reminds the success stories on privatisation of transport systems, of water and energy supply. The question arises slowly, why shall the Greek do something that do not work?
Review: The arguments shown in the movie are part of the recent history. Therefore, the spectator is quite easily convinced. The democratic process is also questionned, with which all these privatisations have been applied by governments. Nevertheless, alternatives are not discussed at all in the movie. By chance, the Director was there and open to discussion. Even if he is left winged, the result of his research only shows that some services shall be kept on centralised hands. Whether these should be public or not is not the point of the movie.
Rating: 5 /10
