Landscapes, Inner and Outer

Mick Krasner, MD

I recently attended the screening of a German documentary film titled Grenzland, which translates to Borderland. In it, the filmmaker Andreas Voigt presents a series of miniature portraits of ordinary people on both sides of the river Oder, which forms part of the border between Poland and Germany.  The lives of the protagonists in this film have been shaped by the ever-changing nature of this and many other borders around the world.
