Duration: 01:08:00
A look at how a small community in Greece and its environment fall victim to the forces of 'disaster capitalism'. Mayor Pantazis Chronopoulos is a man on a mission, a self-proclaimed hero, who will stop at nothing to rebuild Sugartown after the biggest wildfires in Greece's history burnt his constituency to the ground. His vice Mayor and 24 villagers died in the devastating fires and he barely escaped with his life. The question is, will his plans to redevelop the area and his indifference to the rule of law, destroy what is left? A story of disaster capitalism, ambition and graft; where greed and exploitation threaten to leave nothing but scorched earth for the community of Sugartown. |
