Synopsis
In Greece, a country facing financial and social ruin, the neo-Nazi party “Golden Dawn” has become the prime outlet for public anger. From barely registering in previous elections they were catapulted to 7% of the popular vote in the 2012 election, entering the Greek parliament for the first time. The film follows a group of Golden Dawn members during their pre-election campaign in central Athens. Their politics of hatred, resentment and their search for scapegoats haunt the streets of the Greek capital. They are relentless in hunting down the “guilty” for the Greek turmoil. They need victims.
