You will keep coming back to this absolutely captivating new storytelling experiment, The Prism GR2010, featuring 27 mini video stories of Greeks in the eye of the nation's fiscal and existential crisis. The unfolding videos are the work of documentary filmmakers Nikos Katsaounis and my friend Nina-Maria Paschalidou, who also co-owns Protagon, a news blog created by prominent Greek journalists.
Based in Athens after years abroad, Nikos and Nina offer a fresh perspective on their "tormented country," and used photographers to shoot luscious images being slowly released at the Prism link above. They plan a film that will weave all the tales together.

Programs have English subtitles and subjects are diverse, including a couple who leave Athens for an island, Tinos worshippers on bended knees, immigrant junkies in Athens, and an intelligent young African-Greek musician, who concludes: "The world may not always be what we want, but we can make our own world inside this world."

Thanks so much for sharing this project! This is an excellent resource that underscores just how much transition Greece is facing and why there is such anger and indignation among the people.
