Days of Strike – Μέρες Απεργίας

Since October 31st, 2011, the steel workers in Elliniki Halyvourgia in Aspropyrgos (western Athens) have been on an ongoing strike – the longest in my living memory. The strike has been kept out of the mainstream Greek media but has aroused grassroots solidarity from all sections of the working class, as well as the political Left.

This is a short documentary by freelance journalist Kostas Kallergis. You can read more about the documentary itself, as well as some background information in English, here. See also: Solidarity is not a word, it is how we live.
