Since 2003, Sotirios Danezis’ War Zone news-interest documentaries take their viewers to the world’s “Hot Spots” and the centre of international news developments. With emphasis placed on historical truth and a penetrative view into events, the creator and producers of the series record revealing eyewitness accounts and rare footage from a world beyond our own.

With exclusive interviews, a variety of archive footage and facts, War Zone sheds light onto the international political background of events, bringing to the surface unknown facts while narrating history in a simple and comprehensive way.

Each feature, of 60 minutes, is the result of long-term journalist research and is characterised by cinematic narrative, quality image and detailed editing. 

In 2003 Sotirios Danezis and the series’ producers brought to Greek television the history of the Vietnam War and the war on the Falkland Islands. They recorded incredible eyewitness accounts from Rwanda’s genocide and images from post-war Iraq. They presented everything we didn’t know about the Gulf War and the US invasion of Panama and were embedded in a First-Line unit on the 38th Parallel, on the border between North and South Korea.

In 2004 they travelled to Somalia, the only country in the World without a government and to Cambodia to meet Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge. They gained access to the facilities where Iran’s nuclear programme began, recorded the siege at School No.1 in Beslan and investigated the circumstances under which the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk sank.

In 2005 they presented a rare documentary on North Korea, travelled to hurricane struck New Orleans, went on a trek through the contested lands of Western Sahara and followed a group of illegal immigrants over the US – Mexico Border. Mega Channel’
