1
00:07:38,860 --> 00:07:41,200
So this was Notara 26,

2
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,860
It was really great to have you here.

3
00:07:35,140 --> 00:07:36,960
you were the day before.

4
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,860
[Giannis]: We have to deal
with our own selves every day

5
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:35,140
of our lives and that's for me the main
point trying to be a better person than

6
00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:25,020
that's my point of view.

7
00:07:19,060 --> 00:07:23,530
are benefitting more than they are from
the solidarity relationship, at least

8
00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:19,060
wholeheartedly laugh with you, give you
what they have, so in the end I think we

9
00:07:08,260 --> 00:07:13,140
Now that's the truth, as I said earlier they've seen
all these things and they can still

10
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,060
helping them to get strong, they are
helping us to get stronger. Now that's

11
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,120
it's not the other way around. We are not

12
00:07:00,940 --> 00:07:03,420
[Dionysus]: We are learning how to become strong from these people

13
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:00,820
will be like that the trip of the
humanity towards freedom.

14
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,100
[Mim]: The trape of the refugees towards survival

15
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,320
and everything we are proving it wrong.

16
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:52,479
prejudice, of bigotry, of all this
media propaganda all the evil refugees

17
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:43,630
precious gemstones that we are finding
in human contact. We are proving wrong of

18
00:06:32,820 --> 00:06:38,740
and such buildings thereof, is the
treasure, as I said earlier it's the

19
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,680
[Giannis]: Thank you so much.

20
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:32,820
[Dionysus]: The most important
part that came out of this building

21
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:25,860
[Niko]: 13 watermelons just got dropped off.

22
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:22,420
Put the watermelons in the kitchen.

23
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:20,420
watermelons and so everybody's helping
put the watermelons up.

24
00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:15,220
[Giannis]: Ahh, what's happening right here, ahh, someone brought us

25
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:11,060
[Niko]: What's happening right here?

26
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:03,140
[Niko-Unicorn Riot]: For free?

27
00:06:03,140 --> 00:06:08,660
[Giannis]: Yeah for free, of course, nothing is charged, nothing to pay here. Nothing.

28
00:05:57,540 --> 00:06:02,280
washing machines that people can come
and wash their clothes.

29
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:57,540
[Giannis]: These are operating right now, they the

30
00:05:52,570 --> 00:05:55,620
to protect it one way or another.

31
00:05:41,530 --> 00:05:47,140
building there are people from many
countries, also little children, pregnant

32
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:52,570
women, handicapped people, you can find
everything. It's our society and you have

33
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:41,520
because we're talking about the
protection of many lives. Because in this

34
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:34,720
[Mimi]: So that's why when we insist
that it is really really important

35
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:30,860
survived way way worse.

36
00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:28,980
some little fascists will do them no
harm, the people have survived way,

37
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:23,460
[Dionysus]: Let me remind
something here, these people have seen war,

38
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,600
totally destroyed.

39
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:17,940
we keep it. You understand? If it we would
not have these reactions and it will be

40
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,280
[Mimi]: Immediately it was the reactions, that's why I'm talking about the reaction and the reflects, because

41
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,760
food. Everything was destroyed during the
fascist attack.

42
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:02,540
from toilet papers, from pampers, from

43
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,300
of supply we had from mattresses, kitchens,

44
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,600
Downstairs was everything else and here
was the main food storage. So every kind

45
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:45,440
[Mimi]: It was a big explosion. Everything was destroyed, everything we had at the stockage really everything.

46
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120
[Giannis]: All this floor was burned, all this floor.

47
00:04:34,780 --> 00:04:39,180
where the bombs, the gas bombs, they
dropped the gas bombs inside.

48
00:04:28,580 --> 00:04:34,780
[Giannis]: Right now you can say wall, before
it was like that and that was the place

49
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,400
here of the night shift of Notara.
They came that way that we have now a wall.

50
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,920
At 4 o'clock in the morning, it was three persons

51
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,600
attack from fascists at Notara.

52
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:10,660
zone existed already and we had to
create these squats, we created some great treasure.

53
00:04:12,940 --> 00:04:17,400
[Mimi]: At 24 August of 2016 we had an explosive

54
00:03:58,180 --> 00:04:02,709
sometimes if you don't want to call it
that way, or a sanctuary. Because the free

55
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,180
[Dionysus]: This free zone, well,
it gives a little bit of asylum

56
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,360
center of the city. With no discrimination, with self-organization. It's our community.

57
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:49,440
have many squats as Notara, we create a
free zone, a free zone at the

58
00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:41,880
[Mimi]: This squat is our community and as much as we

59
00:03:36,820 --> 00:03:38,980
accompany them to the hospital.

60
00:03:32,530 --> 00:03:36,820
the first place that the people are
coming and if there is need we

61
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:32,530
or whatever. We have a doctor that visits
the building twice per week. So that's

62
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:26,880
And as you can imagine in a building with 100 people we have many cases of diseases or illnesses

63
00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:19,980
any kind of funding of help from the
state, or from NGOs.

64
00:03:08,420 --> 00:03:13,380
mainly from people that stands in
solidarity with Notara. We don't accept

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,420
The supplies for food comes

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240
face of solidarity, what solidarity
really is.

67
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:02,680
together made a road trip to here, a
convoy entering Exarcheia and showing the

68
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,480
from France, one from Spain, one from
Belgium, and one from Switzerland, all

69
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,740
[Giannis]: The solidarity don't comes only from Greek people.

70
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:49,960
It was March / April of 2017; 24 vans, 21

71
00:02:33,130 --> 00:02:37,570
made both shine brighter, either the
misanthropy or the solidarity in people.

72
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:33,130
either for misanthropy or solidarity, so
we saw both, I think. And the crisis actually

73
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:41,280
So yeah, you have a lot of people running
to help.

74
00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:25,760
[Dionysus]: I think humans are biologically programmed

75
00:02:17,620 --> 00:02:21,860
[Mimi]: It's not a question of charity, it's a question of solidarity.

76
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,790
that are coming from war zones and they
are refugees and migrants,

77
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:17,620
they don't, they are worse conditions
than we are.

78
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,280
crisis we are very depressed and tired
but you can see that these people

79
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,000
We are already here in Greece in a very difficult condition after 8 years of

80
00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:55,000
came and helped us separate the floors
because there were offices here.

81
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,500
And also as you can see the walls, these walls

82
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:48,620
was created, it was built from two comrades that

83
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,880
for the people to be able
to cook or make there tea.

84
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:37,880
had to build the shower in every
floor, there is a kitchen also, in every floor

85
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:29,960
The building didn't have facilities for a shower, so we

86
00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:25,740
There are the shifts of cleaning.

87
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:23,860
we're trying right now not to disturb
them, as discrete as we can.

88
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:19,380
drawings from the kids of Notara. In
every floor there are people living so

89
00:01:07,049 --> 00:01:11,820
it right here. Also the assembly
takes place in here. Here are some

90
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:03,660
We're entering the

91
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:07,040
common space of Notara. 
Most of the activities we do, we do

92
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:01,820
it hosts around 100 people.

93
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:59,580
[Giannis]: It's a five floor building. Right now,

94
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,840
[Mimi]: So that's why we occupied this building.

95
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,840
We could not stay and observe that thing.

96
00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:38,940
Because the winter was coming, we said we have to find a solution.

97
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:51,640
So it was very important for us, for the whole movement, to do something about that.

98
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,940
[Giannis]: So we had thousands of homeless and desperate people being without a shelter.

99
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,840
and all the people coming from the islands to the center of the city to find a way to continue to the borders.

100
00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:27,120
[Mimi]: The first boat of refugees coming on summer 2015,

101
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Giannis, and Dionysus, and took a tour of
the self-organized squat which opened

102
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,000
We spoke with volunteers Mimi,

103
00:00:18,330 --> 00:00:22,240
in 2015, and was firebombed by fascists in 2016.

104
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,320
refugees and migrants.

105
00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:48,520
so goodbye.

106
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,900
a housing squat for refugees and migrants

107
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:10,760
Unicorn Riot got an inside look at Notara 26, Greece's first housing squat for

108
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,100
[Narrator]: As fascist attacks on social centers in
Greece and beyond continue to spike
