I Didn't Cross the Border: The Border Crossed Me

After the Russo-Georgian war in 2008, the villagers of Churvaleti learned they are living on the border of the newly established (but internationally unrecognised) South Ossetia. Life went on – until Russia decided to put up a wire fence along the border. Neighbours and families were suddenly separated. This documentary traces how the locals come to terms with the situation. They avoid the Russian patrols and climb through the fence to help during the harvest or to trade goods. Instead of eating at home, they have picnics on the border. They want to live as before, but it is unclear whether that will ever happen. (One World)
