In light of a question in Parliament on April 24, 2002, regarding a tragic incident, the explosion, detonation, and "disappearance" of a worker during work hours, whose traces were not found, the series seeks to trace the footsteps of the timeless worker and define the achievements of the Labor Movement during the industrial period, achievements that contributed to the improvement of society in general.
The series includes unpublished and rich archival material from Greek and international archives (GAUMONT, GETTY –IMAGE BANK, ITN, PATHE, REUTERS) and private collections (D. Grigoratos-ERT "In the Space of History"), A. Druliou, GSEE, ROGER VIOLLET, TURK-IS-Turkish Trade Union Confederation, UMWA-United Mine Workers of America, among others.
Today:
«The Woman Beside Us» (International Women's Day - Tribute)
This episode focuses on the women's labor movement about the struggle for women's emancipation.
It follows internationally the struggles of female workers for equal social and economic treatment, and the resistance they encountered from the state, employers, as well as from their male colleagues.
Reference is made to the inhumane working conditions, the first female labor strikes, and the gradual satisfaction of their demands in the 20th century, along with the achievements of their social liberation.
Simultaneously, with the main axis being the oral testimony of a former female worker in a textile factory, the aftermath of the international organized women's movement in Greece is examined.
There is discussion about women's work in the interwar period, the establishment of the first women's associations, and the change in the social status of women during the Occupation, with their active role in the National Resistance from the ranks of EAM, where they voted in 1944 for the establishment of the so-called "Mountain Government" in the elections organized by the Political Committee of National Liberation.
The narration is embellished with rich audiovisual material from Greek and foreign archives.
During the show, the songs "Pasalimaniotissa" and "Poverty Along with Honor" by P. Tountas, and "Kapnouloudes" by Dimitris Gogos (Bayianteras) are heard.
