We welcome ANT 1 SATELLITE to our donor community! ANT1 SATELLITE is a major player in the field of Greek television, and provides content around the world, including popular series such as PSICHOKORES. This series reveals unknown aspects of a 1950s taboo institution in the Greek society, which forced young girls into servitude, while simultaneously sowing the first seeds of the women's movement. The enslaved stepdaughters, remaining unseen, served the mansions of the aristocracy and the urban wealthy, while attempting to claim, through danger, intrigue and secrets – their self-dignity, dreams, and the right to live and love.
