Summary Piraeus Port Athens - Greece Sarra and Renata are part of a group of seasoned independent volunteers known as the 'Czech Team'. For six months they lived in and operated from a section of the port called the Stonehouse, a large stone warehouse that was home to over 1300 refugees. Like many other volunteers across the region, they left their lives behind and joined the front line, helping in whatever way they could. At the time of filming, despite the already extremely strenuous living conditions, the government had been applying pressure on the independently run camp in an attempt to encourage refugees to move to formal, army-run camps. As a result, the police systematically underestimated the number of people living at Piraeus, giving them just cause to decrease the food and water deliveries every day. With an attitude of familial solidarity and a will to keep the camp running, the Czech Team came up with a solution that could only have been made by independent volunteers: You don't want to give them food? That's ok, we'll cook.
