Nick Malkoutzis, the co-founder of Macropolis.gr, joins Thanos Davelis with the key takeaways from Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' keynote address at the Thessaloniki International Fair, and break down the latest turmoil in SYRIZA that saw its leader Stefanos Kasselakis lose a no-confidence vote.

This week kicked off with two former prime ministers and leaders of New Democracy - Antonis Samaras and Konstantinos Karamanlis - launching maybe the most severe criticism of Prime Minister Mitsotakis and his leadership that we've heard so far, touching on foreign and domestic policy.

With New Democracy set to cement its political dominance in the upcoming European elections, the battle for second place is heating up as SYRIZA and PASOK's leaders turn up the heat to see who will take on the leading role on Greece's center-left after the elections.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his cabinet have been under pressure these past days, as farmers and students across the country have taken to the streets in protest. This comes as Mitsotakis also prepares to pass a key marriage equality bill this month, and as the latest polls show a slight drop in support for New Democracy and the government.

Since Stefanos Kasselakis was elected as the new leader of Syriza, the party has been riven with internal strife and tensions.

Greece's ruling party New Democracy achieved a huge victory in Sunday's election, managing to gain a double-digit lead over its main rival, the left-wing SYRIZA, which saw its support melt away. 

This week, after his first cabinet meeting of the new year, Prime Minister Mitsotakis sent a strong signal that he does not plan to call general elections before April.

The announcement comes as Greece's political parties begin to get into campaign mode.

The documentary was filmed in a number of locations, including Oakland, California, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Chicago, Illinois. The filmmakers also visited a number of sites in Colorado, where the Ludlow Massacre took place. These included Denver, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs.
