SAVING THE RIVER VJOSA – THE STORY BEHIND
The Vjosa River in Albania is one of the last wild
rivers in Europe. With a length of about 300 km,
it flows freely in its bed from the mountains in
Greece to the Adriatic Sea in Albania. But this
wealth is threatened by the risk of building 8
dams on its bed. EcoAlbania, an environmental
organization, started the campaign to save
the blue heart of Europe 10 years ago. In this
documentary, you will get to know the history
of the protection of the Vjosa river told by the
characters who led this battle.
