I investigated the resurgence of communist ideas among young Romanians. I spoke with declared communists, intellectuals who caught the period, but also with liberal economists who explained to me how the market actually works. This is the first part of a 3-episode series on this topic. It was the video I worked on the most so far. I hope you like it too. Enjoy watching!
