In the Eye of the Storm: The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis

Synopsis

Controversial economist, whistleblower and politician Yanis Varoufakis, who famously resigned from his post as Greece's minister of finance in 2015 rather than sign a fraudulent bail-out deal for his impoverished country, anchors this must-see six-part series. One of the foremost political figures of our time, he reflects on debt, austerity and his battle against the European establishment during Greece's debt crisis. In a master class in economics and oratory, Varoufakis raises urgent questions and contradictions about where our civilization is headed and how power works at the highest levels, and connects economic failure, globalization, democracy, fascism and climate crisis.
