The new documentary series titled "Why 21? 12 Questions" aims to present, in 12 episodes, the key aspects of Greek history, following the thread that connects the 200 years of existence of the Greek nation-state, from the Revolution to the present day.

In their research, journalists Marilena Katsimi and Pierros Tzanetakos seek answers to 12 timeless questions (e.g., Why are we celebrating 1821? Why are we bankrupt? Are foreigners our friends or enemies? Why are we divided? Why are there Greeks everywhere? etc.)

It is a charming and documented narrative of events, through personal stories, myths and truths. The aim is to disseminate scientific knowledge to the general television audience, through the popularisation of history.

The 12 questions are answered by 80 leading historians, political scientists, economists, constitutionalists and social psychologists, teaching in Greece and abroad. At the same time 18 elementary, junior high and high school students, give us their own perspective on modern Greek history. The detection of the proportionalities and differences between identical historical events contributes to the understanding of the past, but also to creating inspiration and vision for the future.

The show aims to present Greece, from its founding to today, as a part of the world, as a living organism that both influences and is influenced by the environment in which it lives, creates, and evolves.
