Born in a foreign country and migrated to another foreign country , but Greece is always in my heart............Greeks are very resilient people, they have survived far worse situations than this one and will no doubt do it again............I often close my eyes and travel to the Dodecanesian Islands where my ancestors came from.........
And now you have a crisis in Turkey as well, runaway inflation of the Lira. Better get rid of Erdogan soon or he will destroy your country and its economy and you will be as worse off as the Greeks or even worse.
Honestly the best documentry on the crisis! By far to date I am glad the people are going back to their heritage and to anyone who thinks Greeks are lazy!? This is crazy talk !!! To go back to the old ways is wonderful because once upon a time Greece had it all they didn't need any other countries and this documentry actually shows great hope for not just the Greeks but to all people..... In time maybe we will all need to think about doing things the way we used to!!! Love and light to all oz fee
Thank you for producing this video. Here I am watching this in 2020 and I am identifying with the people featured. I understand their struggle and their spirit. My grandparents came to America 109 years ago in the hopes of a better life. Now a century later, I am developing my plan so that I may return to the "patrida". I hear the voice of ancestors calling me to come home.
I LIKE THIS --- i m from britain ,,, and i m ALSO GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS !! . PS --- i love KHRISTOS !! , i love his passion for his country !!!! i want every greek to feel that , in fact i want EVERY EUROPEAN TO FEEL THAT !!
You are not lazy.. actually i'm glad that people have chosen to take the control of their future in the countryside since you have the biggest potential in your land and nature. I really respect all those people and hope that one day I can have the balls to live in the same way. Ps: hi from Turkey :)
Wonderful video of people who came to the realization of the need to go back to basics and back to the village. I am proud of them. This is the future of Greece. The new Greece. Getting back to the basics and reinventing themselves because this is what they need to do.
@@b.cdrisk2035 and from what aspect the republic of Georgia is "the nice Georgia" compared to the American state (not that i have anything against the republic of Georgia or that i dont consider it nice :D)? Also let us know where you are from
I’m so proud to be Greek, the last gentleman was right, “we Greeks invented democracy”. My siblings in Athens hold two or three jobs each ( 7 brothers & one sister) we Greeks are not lazy people - PS: I love the traditional music playing 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷God bless Ελλάς
I didn't catch the gentleman's name toward the end, but feel bad for his situation. He's being responsible and brutally honest! So heartbreaking! I'm hopeful that one day he and his wife will have children because this world needs more people like him.
If the UK is hit by a similar economic collapse things will be much worse as no-one has a village to go back too. The country was industrialised so long ago that everyone has long lost touch with the land. It is 100% urban industrial proletariat.
@@largepint NorwegianOlive actually, most people I know, especially islanders, own at least some portion of land, along with homes in villages. The industrial Revolution never really hit Greece, and people have been moving en mass to big cities only in the last century, so having land was always pretty significant and it still is in the hands of the people.
i wish i can understand the real pain and frustration, that crying young was expressing, but i cant. i never had much, just enough to get bye, so it really cause me pain to live at the bottom of food chain.
Solar power and keep as much as possible on DC and only a few things thru an inverter for 220 volts 50hz AC current. A cheap alternative to the batteries is to use Marine batteries. Many things can be operated on DC voltages of 12 24 and even 48 volts. Refrigerators can be electric AC 220 or DC 12 or kerosene or even propane. Communication might have to be satellite.....
How do I contact Nikos and Alaxandra Tricha on the island of Chios in Greec, who are operating a snail farm. My name is Barry Crowson in England. Thank you:- Barry.
Lent cheap money when they joined the Euro club... but no way to pay it back because they didn’t earn enough. The few who did earn the lions share, didn’t feel they needed to pay any taxes... and so things imploded... The country borrowed money it couldn’t afford.
I have a deep respect for these people- they know it is all fake- and the money only paper. You need real values to change with in this life now. Tx you
The question is, has this trend held up or reversed again??? I live in Germany and I do not think I would want to become a farmer in this dark country. But Israel, Greece, Spain or Italy is a different issue.
...except that the old Greeks never considered democracy the ideal state form. Plato said that the rule of one man - monarchy, and the rule of everybody - democracy, are both aberrations to be avoided. Instead, the ideal form of government is oligarchy - the rule of the select few. This is what you will never hear at your state university.
Although I understand their feelings, but there was a problem with the taxation, and if you have ever been to Greece you would know that the work ethic is highly limited, so when reality sets in it can only be fucked.
@@lovebug1268 Things are going better in Greece. Economy is going better. A few taxes have been removed. Wages are still low life is still expensive but we slowly recovering. And yes still a lot of people even the young ones decide to live their lives by working the land on the countryside.
It’s beautiful in a sense. But it is also how all dark ages start. We can’t continue to support our extravagant progressive lifestyles, so we simplify, but we forget the things we no longer use, and a generation or two later many skills have languished and perished
People succeed government fails. Every time a government program fails they get more power and money to "Fix" the problem if you reward failure what will you get more of? Failure.
Money has to changed. Debts have to be lowered, and credit gotten rid of. Countries have to be producing the things they need for themselves. And get back to natural practices. Every time I see the red vinyl like the ones the woman was holding in the market where they trade things, I think to whats wrong with the world. Yet they have sheep. Sheep skin boots lined with wool. Things like this.
Awesome 'flood the villages and bring new life into them all,,, if I could have chosen where I'd live withy family an friends. It would be in the countryside's of Greece and with with any chance of living somewhere like one of those villages in Greece 'I will be loving the life & looking forwards to creation my future in agriculture in some way. I love this Australia 'but for me Australia doesn't compare to the air and quality of all foods of Greece & the Australian laws of freedom are a complete joke for humanity, which ends up creating the young people to start doing stupid shit 'the most common things in life like fruits an all types of foods are of lesser quality compared to Europe!
I love the Greek people and feel they have been abandoned by the E.U, an over inflated balloon, that really dosnt serve a purpose. So want Greece to turn the corner and make the actions of the E,U irrelevant to their country. To many MPs "owned" by the E.U

I'm returning to Greece. Would love to work in the fields growing eggplants, bell peppers and tomatoes. Nightshades are most delicious!
Why cant aeroponics or hydroponics be used ...to lessen the labour

This island is where my family comes from, my grandmother moved here to USA in 1935
they said it, the system opress you, then throw you away. its time to turn our backs to the current economic system of our times.
I wholeheartedly agree with these people. and I am rooting for them 100%

thank you dear Greeks from Georgia, i hope your nation will rise up soon, good luck
The American Georgia or the nice Georgia?
@@b.cdrisk2035 what do you mean "nice Georgia"?
@@christoskallias2115 the Republic of Georgia, not the American state

4:24 Which is why land is more important than money to rich people today. Guard the land well.
Very wise indeed.
Indeed.

The climate is better in Greece too!
And it become worst with flooded immigration. UK cant survive for a long time if economic collapse.
Same in the US
Great people.
how we should all live..
My Greek brothers just hang on there and soon things got change and get better
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
.
I'd love to see a follow-up on this!
You have the spirit of "GLADIATORS" to make it work and to magnetise many others to do the same.
Funny part is god works through those taking destiny into their own hands, action is key!
Wish I owned some land...
yes, this documentary is a bit misleading. Some of these people in this video are privileged landowners

No factory farming here
I love that Greek accent 😊

The best life is in the country for all men just my opinion

Hermann Steinrucks..what would you want to farm?
Sucks to be them. Living in the countryside farming is a nightmare to me.
Anyone know the music at :54??

Looks like the snail lady uses snail slime cosmetics
What do they taste like? What about locusts?
Greece has a dictator now and that dictator is named Brussel.
Snails🤔🤔🤔 why not
Sort your audio!
These people are not special. They're just as vulnerable to these types of things as anybody else. I'm glad this crisis has humbled this lot.
oh.I thought it said "Geeks are returning to the countryside" lol
That place looks hot...
