Greece: The Seven Black Years

Life in Greece under the Dictatorship 1967-1974. This programme, filmed only weeks after the fall of the Colonels, investigates what it was like to live in Greece during those seven years. What sort of resistance was possible? And how were people able to express their feelings against the regime? The film includes remarkable documentary footage of the Polytechnic siege of November 1973 and describes an attempt by the resistance movement in Crete to stage a spectacular show of force against the Colonels. But above all it listens to ordinary people describing their own experiences of those seven years - seven long years which will never be forgotten.
