2014-2015: 17. The Great European Disaster Movie Authored documentary by Italian director Annalisa Piras and former editor of The Economist Bill Emmott, which explores the crisis facing Europe. Through case studies of citizens in different countries, the film explores a range of factors that have led to the present crisis, economic and identity challenges across Europe. High-level experts analyse how and why things are going so wrong. The film includes fictional scenes, set in a post-EU future, which feature archaeologist Charles Granda (played by Angus Deayton) travelling on a flight through a menacing storm, explaining to a child passenger what the EU was. Sombre, thought-provoking and witty, the film frames Europe through the eyes of those who have most at stake - the Europeans themselves.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
MentalIssuez Besides serving its purpose as a documentary about the current political panorama regarding the European union and the Eurozone, the fact of calling it a movie highlights something rarely seen in documentaries: a story in between the more complex parts, switching between a non-Europe world in the future and the current political landscape which permits the viewer to "rest" from an overload of information.Contary to what one would expect from a documentary apparently depicting the death of the European future (hence, the great European disaster), the film portrays different points of view, both in favour as against European union. There is much to learn in it and their sources are all perfectly viable and never biased.A great reflection of the current issues which portrays the current struggles to maintain the European vessel afloat and a warning for future generations. A recommended view!
