John Malamatinas, born in Brussels to Greek and German parents, is a journalist, videographer, and political documentarian reporting from the heart of social struggles across Europe. His work focuses on urban uprisings, antifascist resistance, police violence, and ecological crises. With a camera in hand and both feet on the ground, he documents the frontlines of revolt — from street protests in Athens and Paris to environmental demonstrations and working-class neighborhoods.
Through film, writing, and public talks, Malamatinas brings attention to the lived realities of those facing state repression, economic exploitation, ecological destruction, and social exclusion. His footage has been used by independent media, solidarity campaigns, and investigative outlets.
Committed to radical documentation as a form of counter-power, he views journalism not as neutral observation, but as an intervention in the struggle for justice.
