LOOKING FOR EUROPE

LOOKING FOR EUROPE

Kristof Gerega
Germany, 2018, 35 Min

How do you get young and creative people to stay in Ukraine, which is stagnating after the hopes of the Maidan events between war, corruption and a weakening economy? And how do you make them to believe in democracy? A handful of young politicians try to solve conflicts with politics.

Schuldenberg Films

 Kristof Gerega observes how his protagonists – politicians who want to shape the country's future during and after the Maidan events, first as activists, then as journalists and later as parliamentarians – increasingly lose themselves in the political business. Rough in the montage, sometimes sarcastic and always with a keen eye for details, Kristof Gerega follows people who have not yet lost their idealism. He promotes political work in parliaments, despite hair-raising voting-rankings and self-staging. RB
