2008 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Arbo Tammiksaar

Estonian-Latvian co-production about the "established fascists" - Baltic actors who were used by the Soviet film industry to create the representation of an enemy and to recreate the image of Baltic people as fascists.

The filmmakers' question is whether this has influenced the image of the Baltic people? The documentary that has been co-produced by Estonian and Latvian filmmakers tells about artist's responsibility and creative options.
