In the Eye of the Storm: The Political Odyssey of Yanis Varoufakis - Season 1 - Eps 2: Compromise but do not be compromised
With the eyes of the world on him, Varoufakis begins his battle with the Troika to free Greece from debt bondage. He must face down the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We follow the twists and turns, the betrayals and regrets, of this epic drama as Varoufakis resists the bail-out deal being imposed by the Troika, and battles to find a way out for Greece. In this Kafkaesque world of intrigue and deceit, we hear Varoufakis’ first- hand accounts of private meetings with the head of the IMF and Germany’s own finance minister, both of whom surprise the fledgling politician. Woven throughout the narrative is hitherto unseen footage of Varoufakis from a personal video diary of life during these turbulent months of negotiation.

Synopsis
In the Eye of the Storm is a six-part documentary series about one of the foremost intellectuals and political figures of our age, Yanis Varoufakis. In the Eye of the Storm begins with a first-hand account of Varoufakis’ dramatic battle with the European establishment, but goes much further to weave a gripping political narrative about the fate of our civilization: where we are, how we got here, and where he believes we must go. We see up close, through Varoufakis’ unique story, how power works at the highest levels, entering a world so often shrouded in secrecy.
