Welcome to the "Dawn Of Battle"

“In a society that hates me deeply and scars my soul daily, in countries that have branded me as an outcast and deprived me of any sense of belonging, in a world the foundations and rules of which I deny, being likeable would mean that I am starting to look like it.”

RUINS: Chronicle of an HIV witch-hunt


RUINS: Chronicle of an HIV witch-hunt



"RUINS: Chronicle of an HIV witch-hunt" is a documentary directed by Zoe Mavroudi.

Description:

A documentary about the shocking case of HIV criminalisation in Greece. The story of the prosecution of women who are HIV carriers, who were arrested by the Greek Police, were forced to have HIV tests, were imprisoned for criminal offences, and finally were castigated when their photos and all their personal data were published in the Greek media, only a few days before the national elections of the 6th of May, 2012.

This was another event in a series of events that took place during the last years in Greece and involved criminalisation of groups like prostitutes with HIV, Roma people and immigrants, among others, and led the Greek Neonazi Party "Golden Dawn" to be the third party in the elections, while the ruling parties that led Greece to where it is now, are still in power through a coalition government.

In the directors own words "We are not making a sacrifice, we are the sacrifice".
