Teenage Riots in Athens

Teens in Athens, Greece take to the streets with rocks and molotov cocktails to protest the government and its large-scale austerity measures. Upon arriving in Athens we find a city whose streets are disappearing under uncollected waste. There's a sense of desperation overcoming the citizens. In the run up to a 48-hour national strike we meet teenage anarchists who are desperate for police blood, communists praying for revolution, and civil servants struggling to understand what has happened to their country.
