Episode synopsis
How close did Greece come to exiting the euro in the summer of 2015? The fifth episode of the series “At the Millimetre” returns to the dramatic days leading up to the July 2015 referendum - the moment when negotiations between Greece and its European partners collapsed, banks closed, capital controls were imposed and the country’s future in Europe literally hung in the balance. At the heart of the story lies a defining question: was the referendum an act of democratic resistance or the moment when Greece found itself a millimetre before the unknown? In the end, was the real question in or out of the euro, as many protagonists in Athens and Europe are wondering?
