Economist. Dissident. Professor. Whistleblower. Politician. Activist. 

Celebrated by some, vilified by others, former finance minister of Greece Yanis Varoufakis is one of the most recognisable political figures in the western world, with over a million Twitter followers, many best-selling books, and an explosive memoir named by The Guardian as one of the top 100 most important works of the 21st Century. 

In the Eye of the Storm — The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis is a six-part documentary series that begins by telling the story of Varoufakis’ dramatic battle with the European establishment: an epic struggle to rescue the most bankrupt nation in Europe, exposing the dark side of power at the highest levels. 

The fate of Greece was merely a symptom of a crumbling global system, and the series continues by weaving a gripping narrative about the multiple crises we are facing, joining the dots between the disintegration of the European Union, the failure of austerity, the rise of Donald Trump, the attacks on democracy, the spectre of fascism, the implosion of capitalism, and the historic climate challenge.

The series is now available to buy on Amazon, Apple, Vimeo and Google Play, in a variety of territories. We are currently asking viewers in the US and UK to purchase the series on Amazon to help it get shown to more people on the platform.
