My Big Fat Greek Crisis
Greece's future in Europe dominated headlines throughout the summer, but can the country turn its fortunes around? Frances Stonor Saunders takes a trip there to find out.
Greece's future in Europe dominated headlines throughout the summer, but can the country turn its fortunes around? While it's true that the country owes hundreds of billions of euros and is facing austerity for years to come, Frances Stonor Saunders finds that Greece has plenty going for it - and not just its idyllic islands where Brits like to holiday.
Frances takes a trip to picturesque Skiathos, with its sandy beaches and boutique hotels, before exploring the 'real' Greece on the mainland of Volos. Along the way she discovers that, contrary to the popular narrative, the Greek people are accepting responsibility for the crisis that now engulfs them, and are coming up with innovative solutions to fix the future.
Presenter: Frances Stonor Saunders
Producer: Ben Crighton.
