Who's Afraid of Europe? How the EU Came to Poland
Poland, April 2004. Just a few days before Poland is scheduled to join the EU. In a small village on the border to the Ukraine life goes on as usual: farmers till the soil, milk and lead their cows to pasture. All have different expectations of the new era about to be ushered in.
Babske Radio
Forget about Twitter, Facebook, Podcast! BABSKE RADIO has all the information you need!Every evening, shortly before the geese and the cows come home, the women of Jalzowka meet for a daily exchange of information on the wooden benches outside their houses. The men of this little village in West Ukraine refer to this daily get-together as “Babske Radio”, old wives’ radio. Everything of importance in the big world outside and in the little world of Jalzowka gets thrashed out here: Sasha has caught a huge fish, the market prices for butter have dropped, Andrey climbed over the fence for a tête-à-tête with Tonya, the Ukraine should keep out of NATO.
