Since fourteen months the workers of the local radio station ERA on the island of Zakinthos have occupied their station. After the TV and radio stations of the former Greek state broadcaster ERT started to become a major protagonists of the public criticism of the Troika and the Greek government policies, the Greek government decided to close down the stations. But the TV makers and radio makers fought back all across the country. They took over the local stations and continued to broadcast their critical standpoints with the support of the population. Just as it happened on the island of Zakynthos, where our documentary Sachamanta will be shown along with the “Solidarity & Communications Workshop” on 10 August at 22.15. We are proud and happy to support the struggle of radio makers with our film.
