Latvia, a small republic located in north-eastern Europe, has been the subject of a new documentary made by Deutsche Welle.
The documentary crew visited Latvia more than a decade ago and has now returned to see how the country and its people have changed. In this film, the team meets and interviews the people they talked to before and hears their stories of how they've been getting along in the past decade.
The film begins with the team visiting a brick factory in Cēsis where they speak with the manager of the factory. The manager talks about the challenges they face in running a business in Latvia, as well as the opportunities that the country presents. He also shares his vision for the future of his factory and how he sees it growing and expanding in the coming years.
Next, the documentary crew travels to Renda where they visit an organic farm. They meet a worker on the farm who shares his experiences of working in agriculture in Latvia. He talks about the difficulties of working on a farm, but also the rewards that come from growing and producing food for the local community. He also talks about the importance of preserving the natural environment and the role of organic farming in achieving this goal.
The final stop for the documentary crew is in Kuldīga where they meet a former student who has since found a job. She talks about her experiences as a student in Latvia and how she found her current job. She also shares her thoughts on the future of the country and what she thinks is necessary for it to continue to grow and prosper.
"Discovering Latvia: A Decade Later" provides a fascinating insight into the lives of people living in Latvia. It highlights the challenges they face, the opportunities available to them, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Through the voices of the manager, the worker, and the former student, the film offers a unique perspective on what it's like to live and work in this small republic in north-eastern Europe.
