Border Limits: life on the Lithuania-Belarus border

In southern Lithuania, on the border with Belarus, there is a village called Katra. There used to live 130 people but now only four Belarusian widows left. They moved to Lithuania when they married men living here, even though their emigration was a distance of about 10 kilometers.

Now they witness how people from thousands of kilometers away are trying to get into Lithuania.

A video documentary by Francesco Rufini and Indrė Kiršaitė ‪@NARAzurnalistika‬ in collaboration with Sphera Network.
