How Are Yoy Going On, Virumaa?

The compendious reportage documentary was born during the Phosporite War (1987-1988) caused by the new phosporite mines to be founded in West-Viru county and West-Kabala based on the workforce from Russia. The Phosphorite War was a public protest movement in Estonian contemporary history against the Soviet regime and its hostile policies towards environment. The biggest event for environmental protection was the youth biking trip in "How are you doing, Viru county?".
