The Russians on Crow Island (2012)

The Crow Island on the River Narva was the place where Krenholm Manufacturing Company was founded in 1857. The company provided work for 13 000 employees during its best days. The textile factory was closed for good in 2010. During the past few decades, more than ten thousand workers have lost their job. Younger Russians, the descendants of the generation of Krenholm employees, living in Narva tell their dreary story of life. Their harsh monologues tell about abandonment, street life, alcohol, drugs and prison. Most of them have grown up with severe mental and physical traumatic experiences. They have no power, hope nor will to struggle out of their situation.
