Our take

Do we really know our neighbors? Can a road connect us, perhaps making a utopia? This utterly unique portrait of the impact of infrastructure won the Ecumenical Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, as well as snagging director Boris Despodov the Emerging Artist Award at ace doc festival Hot Docs.
