Exarcheia, The Chanting Of Birds

The Exarcheia district in Athens is thought to be the cradle of youth uprising in Greek modern history, from the one against the military dictatorship in 1973 to the riots of 2008. In recent years, the area serves also as a refuge and support center for migrants. The documentary walks its lively streets to take the pulse of a neighborhood that maintains its unique status, even though it has been struck by the economic crisis.
