PRAFOTA 2020 Digital Storytelling Short-list
This is a multimedia project dedicated to a town divided between Belarus and Latvia since the 1990s, when the two countries gained independence following the collapse of the USSR — although it had been de-facto one town for centuries before that. People from both parts can see one another — and even talk to one another — across the river. However, you have to drive 92 km to get to the opposite side of the river. The project shows how both parts have changed over the last 25 years.
