Lors de la fermeture de l'usine grecque de matériaux de construction, Vio.Me, à Thessalonique, 70 employés courent le risque de ne plus jamais trouver de travail. Ils décident alors d’occuper l’usine et de la faire fonctionner eux-mêmes.
Sur les ruines de l’économie la plus ravagée d’Europe, une utopie égalitaire est en train de naître. Mais un an après l’occupation, des conflits internes surgissent.
La coopérative des travailleurs de Vio.Me décide d'orienter la production en fabriquant des savons, des détergents naturels, respectueux de l'environnement pour porter le message « d'un mode de vie radicalement différent. »
La chaine de solidarité s'étend à toute l'Europe où les produits Vio.Me sont diffusés par des collectifs, des syndicats, des coopératives … Depuis 4 ans, l'aventure continue !
Afficher en entierOn February 12, 2013, a group of fired factory workers reopened their deserted workplace in Thessaloniki. They started a product line of cleaning products, based on the principle that any form of hierarchy was forbidden – everyone was equal. In the presence of the media, this unauthorized relaunch was named Day of the Occupation. Filmmaker Apostolos Karakasis follows these events closely, continuing to do so as the cooperation becomes the public face of solidarity and sovereignty during the Greek financial crisis. Makis Anagnostou, their eloquent spokesman, claims the factory owner, Christina Philippou, was convicted several times for company neglect. From her villa, Philippou in turn contends that their use of her production facilities is against the law. In order to keep the constant threat of administrators and creditors at bay, Anagnostou seeks support from likeminded people in Europe. They contact Greek politicians in the hope that the factory can stay open. But now that Anagnostou is in the spotlight, his colleagues fear that he’ll become an instrument of foreign politics. Meanwhile, factory workers wonder what they’re getting out of all this. Will their dreams of a better world withstand the harsh economic reality?
