According to the producers:
“HOPE ON THE LINE follows closely SYRIZA's president Alexis Tsipras during a whole year, starting from the decisive campaign for the June 2012 elections until the shutdown of the Hellenic public broadcasting corporation (ERT) in June 2013. It sheds light on Tsipras' personality, his political views and ambitions.
Alongside, it depicts scenes from inside the party, displays views from militants and high ranked members, witnesses decision making both in Greece and abroad. From the front line man Alexis Tsipras up to the party's Political Bureau affairs, strategy is being built, political lines evolve, another future for the nation is timidly being imagined. Within the political turmoil, Greek citizens try to get answers to their fundamental and dramatic questioning. The very status of the country is in sake, its place in Europe, its future and destiny.”
