The fascinating story of Takis, a former disco owner, who sacrificed everything to rescue stray animals in a documentary by Helen Alafouzou
The Takis Shelter refuge in Crete, which has become the topic of discussion worldwide, is the theme of the documentary movie “Takis.” that premieres in the context of 27th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival on Wednesday 12 March at 22.00 In the Tonia Marketakis Hall.
We are watching the fascinating story of Takis, a former owner of a disco, who sacrificed everything to rescue stray animals in a documentary by Eleni Alafouzou, directed by Michalis Roubis and Anna Podara’s script.
After selling his nightclub in Ierapetra, Takis finds abused dogs in a garbage dump and decides to take care of them. The more strangers he finds, the more he is involved. The local community considers him crazy, his family takes him to a psychologist, his responsibilities are growing up until he … bankrupt. And then, a miracle happens!
Today, it has created a standard animal shelter, from which 2,500 distressed dogs have been saved and 1,500 have been adopted, mainly abroad. His willingness to do the good has created an avalanche phenomenon. In social media it is a viral symbol of hope that touches people’s hearts around the world while volunteers come to help him from all over the globe. As it lifts the burden of this responsibility, it at the same time raises questions and relief to the local community.
The documentary watches the challenges facing Takis by gradually changing the mentality of the locals while exploring the pressing issue of stray management in Greece and the impasse leading to the solution of shelters. The creators raise deeper questions about people who try their limits and face the consequences of their choices.
