Next Stop Grexit?

Next Stop Grexit? As Eurozone leaders reach an agreement on the Greek debt crisis, this report goes on the ground in Athens to trace how a country can run out of cash, and what bankruptcy means for its people.
"First of all I had to reveal the truth", says former Prime Minister George Papandreou, who initiated the emergency IMF bailout for Greece five years ago. "We were shocked, I was shocked... but there's a Greek word for revealing the truth even at the expense of your life." Fast forward five years, and Greece's future hangs in the balance.

A grandmother waiting for her medication says it's the worst she's been through - and she lived through the Second World War. Yet Greek pride and resolve in avoiding further austerity is resounding.
