Today: «The dead of the 1973 Athens Polytechnic Uprising and the Junta snipers»

"Time Machine" with Christos Vasilopoulos presents the dead of the Polytechnic Uprising and the junta's snipers.

The show reveals the secret plan of the junta, which trapped the entire area with snipers and bloodshed at the Polytechnic.

Through testimonies and documents, the journalistic investigation separates myth from reality and sheds light on the list of victims compiled by Prosecutor Dimitris Tsevas after the fall of the junta.

The show's camera was at the exact points where the snipers were indiscriminately shooting and with the help of eyewitnesses, TIME MACHINE pieces together the puzzle of the massacre.

In this television autopsy, the role of the Ministry of Public Order at the time is highlighted, where the rooftop served as a vantage point for gunmen. Even today, you can see traces of the shots in the nearby streets. Doctors Manolis Mylonakis and Panagiotis Mavromatis, who provided first aid to the wounded, speak about the victims who were bleeding at the entrance of the building on Averof Street. In fact, they present a rare historical document: the blood-stained shirt of a young man who was shot in the back.

"Time Machine" unravels the mystery behind a series of historical photographs that show bloodied men in front of the main gate of the Polytechnic. The investigation located them and, with the help of their relatives, documented that they had been shot by regime snipers.

Central to the investigation are the doctors who treated the wounded and confirmed the deaths of many protesters. Kostas Charonis, the director of the Surgical Clinic at Rethymno General Hospital, describes in great detail the cases he operated on. One of the people he saved speaks in the show and shows the bullet he had removed.

Defense and civil action lawyers in the Polytechnic trial in 1975 describe what they saw and heard in the courtroom about the Polytechnic victims.

The program features the psychiatrist Manolis Mylonakis, doctors Panagiotis Mavromatis, Antonia Charitou, and Kostas Charonis, eyewitnesses Melpo Lekatsa, Michalis Besis, Giorgos Oikonomou, and Emmanouil Maroufidis, as well as the relatives of the victims: Giannis Komninos, Anthi Myrogianni, Manolis Karamanis, Theofanis Theodoras, Alexandros Koubos, and Markos Karamanis.

Furthermore, lawyers Fotis Kouvelis and Ioannis Katsieris, along with journalists Mimis Tofexis, Giorgos Philippakis, Thodoris Kaloudis, and Paul Vittoroulis, provide insights and information related to the events.
