Director Theopi Skarlatos and producer Paul Mason present This Is A Coup, a four part documentary series telling the story of how the European Union destroyed the first radical left government in modern history. Granted extraordinary access to key politicians from the Syriza party (including prime minister Alexis Tsipras), Skarlatos weaves interviews grabbed in the thick of the action with the stories of three Greek citizens who had hope in the party when it came to power. The series points to a central fact: the Greeks exercised their democratic right to say no to austerity, and Europe unleashed an economic war to smash them.
