Stray dogs of Athens become a symbol of hope

Can animals teach us anything about ethics and dignity in time of crisis? According to Mary Zournazi the filmmaker of the documentary Dogs of Democracy we can learn a lot about love and loyalty. Ms Zournazi filmed the documentary in her first ever trip to Greece in 2014, in the middle of the financial crisis. Maria-Stella Papageorgiou spoke to Mary Zournazi about her journey and the things she gained. You can see Dogs of Democracy at the Melbourne Documentary Festival July 16.
