It’s 1946. Yanis’ father, Yiorgos, is arrested as a young man for protesting the fascist dictatorship in Greece. Decades later, when the teenage Varoufakis is himself arrested on a protest, his parents send him to study in Britain for fear of history repeating itself. This chain of events sets him on a path to becoming a world-renowned economist. Fast forward a few decades and it’s 2015. The Greek economy is imploding under the weight of huge debts and stringent austerity. A new political party – Syriza – is about to take power. Varoufakis tells the story of this crisis and why he transitioned from academic economist to controversial dissident. We learn that his efforts to inform the Greek public about the state’s hidden bankruptcy provoke serious threats to his family and result in them fleeing the country in search of safety. Varoufakis returns to Greece to accept – reluctantly – Syriza’s invitation to become the nation’s next finance minister.

Series info

In the Eye of the Storm is a six-part documentary series about one of the foremost intellectuals and political figures of our age, Yanis Varoufakis. In the Eye of the Storm begins with a first-hand account of Varoufakis’ dramatic battle with the European establishment, but goes much further to weave a gripping political narrative about the fate of our civilization: where we are, how we got here, and where he believes we must go. We see up close, through Varoufakis’ unique story, how power works at the highest levels, entering a world so often shrouded in secrecy.
