Τhe Polytechnic University uprising in November 1973 was the turning point of the resistance against the military junta that ruled Greece at the time. This documentary recreates the events that led up to those six days and reveals details that have stayed in the shadows until now. At its heart, though, it’s about the personal stories of those who were there—what drew them to the uprising, how it transformed them, and the lasting imprint it left on their lives, shaping them in ways that words can hardly express. A documentary that combines many testimonies of people (female students, pupils, workers and employees, etc.), using archival film and photographic material from personal archives as well as archives of various organizations, contemporary footage, abstract dramatized scenes and recording new factual data from research in official sources, which until now have not been evaluated.
