GOLDEN DAWN GIRLS

GOLDEN DAWN GIRLS – A FILM BY HÅVARD BUSTNES

Nazi ideology is kept alive by the unshakeable conviction of the women behind Golden Dawn. A disturbing portrait of the Greek political party.

“Whatever has happened to Greece?” wonders filmmaker Håvard Bustnes at the start of this documentary. In recent years, the country’s image of sunny beaches and friendly people has been overshadowed by political ideologies that are terrifyingly close to Nazism.

With many prominent members of the far-right Golden Dawn party behind bars, a daughter, a wife and a mother continue to propagate its message. While they regularly stop the interview to make sure it went as they want, Bustnes just leaves the camera running – revealing an ever-widening gulf between clear facts and political image-making.
