Documentary movie “Community”
We are happy to share with you a short documentary movie “Community” which describes joint efforts to protect rivers in the Balkans, where civil society (activists, conservationists, villagers, etc.) work in difficult conditions (physical violence, political threats and lawsuits from investors.)
Movie shows examples of good practices, persistence and real victories in several countries, especially when it comes to preventing the construction of hydroelectric power stations. Part of the film was filmed at the meeting of Balkan activists in Montenegro, which was also attended by a representative of the Guardians of the Rivers.
