Catastroika
How does the sell-out of a whole country influence the economy and democracy? Greece seems about to find out, since a mass privatization and deregulation program is under way, under the pretext of facing its enormous sovereign debt. 'Catastroika' predicts the future by visiting the recent past. It examines the privatization experience of Britain, France, USA, Germany and Russia, gathering lessons for the whole European periphery. Focusing on the selling off of public infrastructure, 'Catastroika' captures the ominous clouds above a country under international financial tutelage.
The documentary features interviews with academics, journalists and intellectuals, like Slavoj Zizek, Naomi Klein, Luis Sepulveda, Ken Loach, Dani Rodrik etc. 'Catastroika' is distributed under creative commons license.
