Golden Dawn: A Public Affair

Golden Dawn: A Personal Affair

What’s in the mind of the neo-nazi next-door? “My partner in life is a Jew, one of my sons is gay, another is an anarchist, and I am a left-wing feminist as well as a daughter of immigrants. If Golden Dawn comes to power our only problem will be which wagon they will put us on.” A journalist is delving for years into the organization of the Greek neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn. The financial collapse, the political instability and the family relations are placed into the spotlight as the documentary is trying to discover “what’s in the head of Golden Dawners, who pose as victims of the system.”

Oppression

As the economic crisis deepens, interventions in journalistic work are increasing and journalists are being asked to choose whether to follow a central line or whether to dare to take a different stance. Those who dare risk not only being fired or prosecuted, but even their physical integrity. Oppression presents just a few of the hundreds of incidents that show that one of the victims of the crisis in Greece is the free press.
