In Europe: Travels through the Twentieth Century

Film director Roel van Broekhoven and best-selling historian Geert Mak take us on a grand tour through 20th century Europe. By train, car and boat, they literally flow the tracks of time, through the century, through the continent; starting off in fin de siecle Vienna, past Madrid and Volgograd, the bunkers of Berlin, the toy-cars left behind by the children of Chernobyl, ending at the ruins of Sarajevo.
They show beautiful archive material and listen to the experiences of witnesses: writers and politicians, a farmer in the Pyrenees, the grandson of the German Emperor, dozens of ordinary people whose lives have been influenced by the larger historical events. Basques, Silesians and Serbs. We are all part of Europe, but we each have our own story and our own identity. read more >
