Docs - 2019
Is a country a shared idea? A common fantasy of its inhabitants? Merely a territory with a border around it, with a parliament, an anthem and a flag? Or does a country embody the sense of natural belonging, of a home?
Globalization has made the world smaller and has brought people closer; nowadays communities can even be virtual. But as Kurds die for a country without a territory, Europe threatens to disintegrate, the President of the USA wants to build a wall at the Mexican border, and a record amount of refugees on the move, the question “what is a countryā€¯ is, paradoxically, more relevant than ever.
