Join us on 9/28 for the DC Premiere of “Agora,” a documentary that follows up with Athenians devastated by the Greek Financial Crisis.
In 2009, Greece suffered a massive financial crisis. Across the country, countless citizens lost their jobs, their homes, and in some cases, their hope. As the crisis dragged on, something remarkable happened: community organizations in Athens began to step in and fill the gaps in services the government could no longer afford.
From laundry for the homeless, to drug recovery programs, to new employment opportunities, this documentary tracks NGOs in Athens that organized to help their neighbors survive, ultimately teaching the government a few lessons along the way.
Join us for the DC premiere screening of this Bertelsmann Foundation and GMF film. Following a screening of the film, join directors Tony Silberfeld and Samuel George for a panel discussion of the film.
Stick around after the film for drinks and networking!
Co-presented by the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Goethe-Institut Washington, DC.
