December 2008: Anger replaces tears

Synopsis

The self-organized production “December 2008 – Anger Replaces Tears” is a documentary about the uprising that broke out in December 2008 on the occasion of the cold-blooded murder of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos by cop Epaminondas Korkoneas. It does not speak from the perspective of a supposedly objective observer but from that of a direct participant and takes a clear position: in favor of the uprising. By searching for chronicles, video material, texts, music and putting the final touch of editing, this work reminds us of the moments of our action, organization and emotions during the days of December. It thus tries to contribute to the preservation of cinematic memory against the silence and falsification that every power wants to impose. The DVD was released in September 2009 by the self-organized video production workshop VISUAL VOID with the technical and political support of TECHNASMATIA.
