Into the Fire: The Hidden Victims of Austerity in Greece

Year: 2013
Directed by: Kate Mara and Guy Smallman

Into the Fire is an investigative documentary looking at the situation of refugees and migrants in Greece, in the face of severe austerity measures and rising racism. Refugees flee their home countries on the search for safety. Due to its land border with Turkey, Greece is one of the main entry gates into Europe.

Once they have entered Europe, European legislation prevents them from moving on to other European countries. In Greece, however, refugees are faced with deficiencies in the asylum procedure and appalling detention and living conditions. Without housing, legal papers or support, they are faced with increasing and often violent racism.
