🇬🇷Demetri and Bruno: Greece crisis through the eyes of a stray dog l Witness

A stray dog in Athens explores the ongoing Greek crisis from a very different perspective.

Bruno is one of many strays crowding the streets of Athens after their owners abandoned them during the economic crisis. He roams around, visiting the restaurants he once frequented with his owner – but most of them have gone out of business.

On the streets at night he has a hard time finding a peaceful place to sleep because every square inch has been occupied by homeless people. And during the day it is even worse: Bruno is sorrounded by demonstrations, tear gas, and street fighting.

Bruno ‘comments’ on social security, urban planning, transportation, racism, the Greek bureaucracy and most of all the financial crisis which took away his home.

Naturally, people also speak in the film – all of those who meet Bruno during his wanderings in the marketplace, at a football match, at demonstrations and others. Greek filmmaker Demetri Sofianopoulos also takes us through the city of Athens, describing today’s life and what motivates and inspires his work.
