About this Event
'In the Eye of the Storm' is a documentary series about the dramatic journey and inspiring vision of one of the foremost political figures of our age, the maverick Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis.
Opening with a whistleblowing account of his epic battle with the European Union, economist turned politician Yanis Varoufakis weaves a gripping narrative about the fate of our civilisation in this groundbreaking series, joining the dots between the spectre of fascism, the crisis of capitalism, and the historic climate challenge.
The series has been welcomed as:
"Insanely watchable. A work of art!”
SLAVOJ ŽIŽEK
"Profound... A wonderful documentary. So powerful!"
NAOMI KLEIN
“Cutting through the fog of political cliches with refreshing clarity. After listening to the weasel words of our politicians this is the cold shower of rational analysis. Compulsive viewing."
KEN LOACH
“Absolutely brilliant - totally compelling and hugely urgent. I hope everyone watches this!”
CAROLINE LUCAS MP
"An essential watch"
IRVINE WELSH
“If Europe is to survive, it will need to pay more attention to democrats and idealists like Varoufakis.”
