documentary copsa mica We are Remco van der Kruk and Wilco Leene from the Netherlands and we
are two curious and serious journalists working for national television
broadcasting companies, public as well as commercial. We are making a series
of documentaries on Eastern-Europe, most recently about Romania and Albania.
As a result from our research we found this address and we hope you can mean
something for us.
Our plan is to visit Copsa Mica, in the heart of your country, soon to make
some portraits for television of interesting people related to the changing
situation of the city, and it's (former) pollution in relation to everyday
life, since the end of Ceaucescu.
The plan for our documentary is to keep it very simple, we want to make
these portraits with as little equipment as possible, meaning one small
digital television camera and some audio equipment and just ourselves.
Our question to you is if you can help us with some more information about
the situation nowadays in Copsa Mica. That would help us a lot to get the
right picture. We know Copsa Mica was called the Black Town and living was
very hard because of the pollution. It is hard to figure out if these
environmental problems still are dominating daily life or that things are
really are improved as much as we sometimes read about it. We can hardly
immagine - especially when we read an major article in the Wall Street
Journal (TOXIC 'BLACK VILLAGE'IN ROMANIA SHOWS THE ENVIRONMENTAL TOLL OF
COMMUNISM) recently.
To achieve this we need some support and we hope you can help us with that.
Maybe you know somebody who is well informed about the situation today,
about the living conditions of the inhabitants, unemployment, the pollution
and the changes(positive or negative) over the last ten years in Copsa Mica.
Or for example, it would help us a lot if we could have contact with
somebody who knows where to find the right persons in Copsa Mica, and/or
somebody who can 'guide' us during our stay.
We're looking forward to your reaction.
Kind regards,
