Nice Lie

Nice Lie (documentary) 

Greece 2018

 

While the Greek economy is still recovering from the financial crisis, 60.000 refugees are making their lives in the country. A few of them describe their daily challenges in barbed wired camps on the Greek islands or on the streets of Athens. These people came to Europe seeking safety and a decent life only to find that “those human rights are no more than a NICE LIE," as 19-year old Abtin from Iran concludes. So they struggle for their rights on the streets, supported by solidarity initiatives.
