DOGS OF DEMOCRACY

2016 / 80 min

Writer/Director: Mary Zournazi

Filmmaker Mary Zournazi explores life on the streets of Athens through the eyes its stray dogs and the people who look after them. 

Shot in location in Athens, the birthplace of democracy, the documentary is about how Greece have become the ‘stray dogs of Europe’, and how the dogs have become a symbol of hope for the people and for the anti-austerity movement. This is a universal story about love and loyalty and what we might learn from animals.
