Secret History of the Euro

The Euro is the most tangible child of European integration. But it's not a loved child.

The Euro is one of the most ambitious experiments of pooling of sovereignty ever attempted, binding 19 countries together. In two decades, it went from zero to the world’s second reserve currency after the Dollar. Award-winning Italian-British film director and journalist Annalisa Piras tells the story of the Euro from the perspective of their creators, but not without analysing the flaws, defects, missed opportunities and dangers for the future. She paints the most complete picture ever made of something that is more than a currency, but a symbol for unity and peace for some, and a curse for others.
