This film chronicles the dramatic economic and cultural changes that came about in Greece through the Marshall Plan in the 1950s. In Greece, first country to benefit from American grants, the operating principles were spelled out more clearly than elsewhere and were probably applied more intensively as a civil war between Communists and Nationalists was raged in the country from 1947 to 1949.
Through film archives, radio programmes and various testimonies, the film recalls the inflow of American values in the Greek culture by pointing out the historical and political importance of the Marshall Plan’s vision of the world. |
