Legacy

Original title: Pärand

2011 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Eeva Jäntti

The documentary produced in collaboration between Estonia and Finland tells about Sillamäe, a former strictly classified mining town in East-Viru county. The town "inherited" the depository of radioactive waste during the Soviet time.

The documentary reflects the fear that our habitual world is going to end - the ever-pulsating streets of New York City; the ancient Hsasnkeyf in Turkey, with the history reaching back to the beginning of urban culture in old Mesopotamia; the fishermen villages in Tonle Sap Lake in the heart of Cambodia; and in an ultramodern urban district in Freiburg, South-Germany. Four places in ...
