Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Romania, Ukraine, Ethnicity & Race, Film, Governance, History, International Relations, Travel

Ukraine List reports [1] that a bridge has finally been constructed to connect two villages – one in Ukraine, the other in Romania: “The bridge was even the subject of a documentary by Romanian director, Ileana Stanculescu, called appropriately The Bridge [2]. The short (75 min.) film came out in 2004 and documents the absurdity of a situation where friends and family have been separated for decades leaving people to literally communicate by shouting over the river.”
