An hour and twenty minutes of testimonies and documents proving how a fire that could have been contained in time , managed with zero wind and “no extinguishing orders” to burn more than 520 thousand acres of land.
Forests, animals, villages, crops, life's work were left to their fate and turned to ashes by a government that expelled the inhabitants from their villages and never took care of forest protection or firefighting. Instead, it plans to invest in new land uses in the name of “development” and “reconstruction”.
In the second part, which will soon be ready, we will substantiate the “why” they burned at least 520,000 acres and the dreams of the people of Northern Evia.
The Project is an independent creation of Nelly Psarrou and Ioannis Lazarou, based on the financial contribution of everyone. See how you can support us at

HOW NORTHERN EVIA GOT BURNT
An hour and twenty minutes with testimonies and documents that prove how a fire that could have been contained in time, managed with zero wind and “non-extinguishing orders”, to burn more than 52 thousand acres of land.
Forests, animals, villages, crops, the toils of a lifetime were left to their fate and turned to ashes by a government which expelled the inhabitants from their villages while never taking care of the protection of the forests or the fire. Instead, it plans to invest in new land, in the name of “development” and “reconstruction”.
In the second part, which will be ready soon, we will prove “why” North Evia and its people's livelihood and dreams got burned.
The Plan is an independent creation of Nelli Psarrou and Ioannis Lazarou, based on the financial support of all. See how you can help us at
