TRAUMA podcast: 24 years, seven tragedies: The experience of survivors and the collective trauma of an entire country
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In TRAUMA, we meet survivors and relatives of victims who are tracing seven disastrous events and fatal accidents that have afflicted Greece in the twenty-four years from 1999 to the present. The testimonies reveal a pattern: a lack of trust in the State and a sense of impunity of the Greek politicians in charge. The podcast explores a difficult piece of modern Greek history and moves the lens of the narration to the people that were involved either as survivors, experts in the field or relatives of the victims. TRAUMA audio documentary uncovers a crucial question: how trauma has been built into the national identity of a country like Greece? The present review explores the diverse answers to this question that come out of the podcast.
