Greece has become a focal point in Europe, where the economic crisis has taken its most severe form and the masses have responded with revolutionary backlash. The documentary "Greece on the Brink" presents a Marxist perspective on the Greek crisis, offering an in-depth look into the profound crisis faced by the country. Despite European and Greek politicians claiming the worst is over, reality shows a different story. Greece is in a state of disintegration, with record-high unemployment, homelessness, and suicide rates. The country's public assets are being sold off, and the population has had to drastically change their lives. The documentary explores the fightback against the crisis, including demonstrations, general strikes, and occupations, as well as the repression by the state. It also examines the political landscape, including the rise of the left-wing party SYRIZA, and the international context of the crisis.
