The Best Docuseries I've Ever Seen!

Wow. A simply stunning piece of work! Yanis Varoufakis is incredibly compelling, inspiring, entertaining and courageous, and his story is utterly riveting. His integrity is astounding and I wish there were more politicians with such depth of knowledge and moral strength! I could not stop watching and know I will return to this series many times.

This beautifully-made series is stunningly edited with a sublime music score and evocative images. It starts by covering Yanis's own fascinating journey, then broadens out to skilfully explore the most pressing issues facing humanity.

Viewers are given a rare inside look at the way power works. If you've ever wondered what goes on inside the world's most powerful institutions, this is a must-watch. Yanis's unique perspective is highly valuable and his experiences as a minister-turned-whistleblower will provide viewers with a richly layered understanding of how the world around us works.

I came away with a far deeper, nuanced insight into how economics and capitalism shape our societies. As a whole, It's a sobering, eye-opening and informative watch which, ultimately, offers inspiring solutions to some of the most profound problems facing us today.

Everyone needs to watch this... A gem of a series that entertains, educates, empowers, and changes you forever!

Watch it. Then tell everyone you know to watch it!

This is an exceptionally powerful and eye-opening TV mini-series that delves into the life and ideas of one of the greatest minds alive today. Yanis Varoufakis's journey is portrayed with remarkable depth, showcasing his resilience in the face of failure and his unwavering passion for change. From the outset, Varoufakis acknowledges his failures, yet his ability to rise again with even more strength and determination is truly inspiring. This series offers a compelling insight into the complexities of politics and the indomitable spirit of a man who refuses to be deterred.

Incredible documentary
amun-7527824 May 2024
This is a must-watch documentary for anyone who is interested in the state of the world and what we can do to change it.

It follows Yanis Varoufakis, a Greek academic economist and his entry into political life.

The documentary shows the aftermath the 2008 financial crash in Europe and the vicious, non-sensical debt cycles countries like Greece entered into.

It is helpful to understand politics at a European level and how financialization has taken over world.

The documentary is gripping, well made and feels authentic. Bravo to everyone involved. I hope as many people as possible take the time to watch it - it is worth it.
