THE END OF THE RIVER

Fori (50) – Bulgarian man from Sofia. His life is empty and meaningless. An unemployed man who lives off his wife. Fori doesn't love her, she feels it and takes revenge on him. Stars are Fori’s passion- he is a passionate amateur astronomer. But his telescope is stolen. Fori accidentally comes to know that there is a man called Vasyliy, who lives in the town of Vylkovo in Ukraine, and who can sell an inexpensive old Soviet telescope.

Fori and his friend Theo start for a long journey by an old car through Romania to the Danube Delta, to Vilkovo. This city was once founded by Old Believers, who fled Russia in search of freedom and an attempt to preserve their faith and traditions. There are water channels instead of streets in the city; boats are main transport of local residents. Old Believers use boats to catch fish and to deliver goods. Fori and Theo are fond of the "Ukrainian Venice".

#RevolutionAnyone

#RevolutionAnyone is a positive, incredibly timely documentary that says ‘yes we can' change our society to better reflect the needs of all its citizens.


#RevolutionAnyone draws out information/inspiration from those on the frontline of fomenting change in the UK; draws on comparisons with Robert Tressell's seminal Socialist text 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' (120 years later, inequality and the Ruling Class still reign) and draws conclusions leading to our MANIFESTO FOR A MODERN REVOLUTION.
