IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
IN THE EYE OF THE STORM | Yanis Varoufakis famously resigned from the Greek government in July 2015 rather than sign what he viewed as a fraudulent bail-out deal for an impoverished Greece – the first and only finance minister to defy the European establishment. During his struggle to resolve the debt crisis in the most bankrupt nation in Europe, he befriended and battled with Emmanuel Macron, Christine Lagarde, Wolfgang Schäuble, Bernie Sanders, Angela Merkel and Barack Obama. Since his clashes with some of the mightiest institutions on the planet, Varoufakis – celebrated by some, vilified by others – is now one of the most recognizable political figures in the western world, with over a million Twitter followers and many best-selling books to his name.
“In the Eye of the Storm: The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis” is officially selected by prestigious HotDocs Film Festival.”
Jennie Punter.
“In The Eye of The Storm is not your usual documentary, as Varoufakis is not your typical politician.”
Alan Ng.
“The six-part film, which will stream on Amazon and Apple and took five years, to make..”
