Episodes
A Spark of Hope
It's 2015. The Greek economy is imploding under the weight of huge debts and stringent austerity. A new radical left party - Syriza - is about to take power. Varoufakis tells the story of this crisis and why he transitioned from academic economist to controversial dissident.
Compromise But Do Not Be Compromised
With the eyes of the world on him, Varoufakis begins his battle with the Troika to free Greece from debt bondage. He must face down the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We follow the betrayals and regrets of this epic drama as Varoufakis resists the bail-out deal being imposed on his country, and battles to find a way out for Greece.
Yes or No?
Five months of struggle culminate in a Greek referendum on the Troika's bail-out deal. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is all but ready to capitulate to the Troika, but Varoufakis believes a referendum victory is what is needed to reject the Troika's deal.
An Evil Dance Between Partners
It's 2019. Across the globe, the far right is on the rise, climate change is rapidly accelerating, and democracy is under threat. Drawing on his experiences as a politician, dissident, and economist, Varoufakis offers a stark warning: that we must learn from the dark history of the 1930s if we are to avoid repeating it.
One Evolutionary Step Beyond
The Greek crisis was merely a symptom of a global system in turmoil. Drawing on decades of work as an economist and political analyst, Varoufakis weaves a compelling narrative about capitalism, freedom, democracy, the 2008 crash and the ecological crisis.
Sow the Seeds of the Next Renaissance
The series are drawn together in this final episode: the Greek bankruptcy, austerity, fascism, capitalism, democracy, and the ecological crisis. We are brought up to date with Varoufakis' journey, the pandemic and its effects, Biden's Presidential victory and the launch of a bold initiative by Bernie Sanders and Varoufakis to bring together progressive forces across the world.
