It's almost 30 minutes long, yet it doesn't feel rushed in what it's trying to say. There's no voice-over narration, just an occasional piano piece and dialogue between the vender and the villagers and a few interviews from both sides. It's sad to see them living in utter poverty, where potatoes are not just currency, but everything. Many have few prospects.
One man, when interviewed, claimed he wanted an education. Sadly, that was unattainable. Later, he can be heard saying if he could he'd drive away from this village.
The kids that run around the village are adorable. It's nice to see them have fun. You can't help but smile at their innocence. As for the man, he still manages to smile-despite his rough life.
Given Georgia's history, it has come a long way and it still has ways to go. As many other countries do.
Just watching this really puts into perspective how much worse things are for some people and how they could be for you. It really makes you appreciate the things you have more, both little and big.
I'd definitely check this out. It's short, yet poignant and direct.
