O Tara in 5 Portrete (Portraits of a Nation)

 

ROMANIA’s national identity has long defied precise definition. Historian Ion Bulei reflects on the subject. “The history of Romanians expresses a permanent need for finding themselves. A need that has almost never been fulfilled… The history of Romania is a permanent search for identity, a permanent search to define itself. It is a silent drama, which each succeeding generation has lived anew.” The documentary explores contemporary views on “Who are we …” through the experience of several individuals. The film is in Romanian, subtitled in ENGLISH with a companion book by Dan Dimancescu in ENG and RO. Buy here.
