TACK — a documentary on courage and justice

On Friday, 27 March 2026 at 19:00, Melanydros screened the documentary TACK, directed by Vania Turner, at the school in Neochori. The film is produced by Onassis Culture and distributed by Cinedoc, and was shown with English subtitles.

TACK captures a defining moment in contemporary Greek society. When an Olympic athlete speaks publicly about her own abuse, she opens the way for the Greek #MeToo movement. Among the women who find the strength to speak out is a young athlete who decides to take her former coach to court. Over two years, the film follows their shared journey — two women, one trauma, one landmark trial.

Through a powerful and moving account, the film reveals the harsh reality of the judicial process, brings the phenomenon of victim-blaming to light, and exposes the weaknesses of a system that often exhausts those who come forward.

As in sailing, so in life, a “tack” is the move you make to advance against the wind. A story of courage, solidarity and the pursuit of justice — a film that leaves no one unmoved.
