"Antonios Repanas, an accomplished and well-known sports journalist in Greece, found himself out in the cold when crisis hit. Unemployed after sixteen years working on a major national daily, he adopted a completely new focus by going to the Idomeni camp and reporting on the refugee crisis. As a result of this decision, Antonios feels that he is today once again fulfilling his vocation to keep people informed, even though his output is disregarded by the media in his own country"
