Yorgos Avgeropoulos’ documentary “The Lost Signal of Democracy”, winner of the Reportage Award at the 2014 PriMed, will be screened at the Alcazar Library in Marseille on Saturday, May 30th at 2:00 pm. Thomais Papaioannou, former Paris correspondent of the Greek public broadcaster ERT, will also be present.

On June 11th 2013, the Greek government unexpectedly closed down the public broadcaster, ERT. After 75 years of continuous broadcasting, all radio and television frequencies were suddenly silenced, leaving only a blank screen – a move which shocked Greek viewers and caused waves of international reaction.
