Oliver Stone, the famous director of “Natural Born Killers” as well as politically charged films like “Nixon” and “JFK”, has come out in support of the Greek government’s new leader Alexis Tsipras and his political party Syriza.
He met the Greek leader 2 years ago in Croatia, and commented that “at that conference, we all knew he was the fresh-faced comer that Greece needed.”
Stone is critical of the portrayal of Greece’s situation in the US media, protesting that corporate interests have controlled the way information about the crisis has been presented to Americans. Through social media, he has reminded his followers that the US has a bad history of supporting causes and dictatorships that were harmful to Greece.
