"Greece,Bust and Broken"


A couple of days ago i was zapping and on bbc three this documentary was about to start. It seemed interesting so i decided to watch. Young reporter Stacey Dooley is making a series about how the economic crises is afecting our generation and how the three countries hit the most by it are dealing with things. First up was greece, then ireland and last japan. From a couple years to this part i've been hearing how greece is really bad and portugal comes right after, but after this show my whole perception of the crisis has changed. I came to the uk becouse there are no oportunities in my country, is true. Especially if you are a single mum. There is no such things as special treatment for us. So unless you have lots of money our a family that can help you the only option is to emigrate. I thought greece was like us, but i guess i was wrong. In comparison portugal isn't that bad. People still get medical help, kids still have help from our goverment to go to school. And so on. But not greece. I saw people who starve becouse they literally have nothing to eat! People living in pre built homes and going through the bins to find something they can use.Also something shocking is that just recently became the only country in the Eurozone that doesn't have council housing. They dismantled the department leaving 700 families without job and close to a million people lost their homes.and why? to give them to the bank. It really looks like a scean that you expect to see in a third world country but certanly not in the migthy Eurozone! I was shocked ! But the thing that stricked me the most was the young revolutionary people. They stay foot and wont leave their country. They have a sense of pride and a strength beyond believe. Becouse of them , i truly believe that there is still hope for greece. They deserve  it.
And congrats to Stacey Dooley and BBC three for such an eye opening show.
