Film Synopsis

In 2011 George Barkouris was forced to live on the streets. He was one of the hundreds of “Athens’ new homeless,” this new social class that was created by the Greek crisis. He was a man “that didn’t make it in life,” but that with pride he preferred to become homeless than to overload others. Today, sixty three year-old George is still struggling to stand on his feet and recognizes that the battle he needs to give isn’t against others or his family or the social system, but with himself.

Director’s note

The film examines the inner world of a homeless man, the subtle emotional fluctuations of someone who “didn’t make it,” but yet confronted life with pride. Even more yet, a psychological portrait, the documentary “Tomorrow In The Battle Think On Me,” is a social commentary about the disintegration of Greek family values, a discussion that in the end exposes feelings of guilt and remorse of our whole society.
