Slight Change of Plans..

                During my project research, the socio-political context in Romania has changed slightly and November 2019 has become the month of protests all over the country.
                People have gone out onto the streets shouting against the illegal deforestations which have caused more fatalities among some of the Forest Guard employees. Big and numerous acts of violence have happened as more empty square miles of forests have been found into the mountains.
                This would definitely make a more interesting topic for my project, without having to deviate too much from my initial idea. Especially now when the Romanian national media has announced that violence has also been directed towards a team from Netflix while they were filming, covering the exact same subject for an episode of "Broken" series.

Filming Locations - Sighisoara

Image
9th of November - 3:00 AM Myself and Emil have landed on Cluj-Napoca International Airport . We took a hire vehicle and started driving towards Brasov, to our destination, Sighisoara. We arrived there at around 6:00AM and we went straight to the main landmarks. As we had only 20 minutes maximum left until sunrise, in order to catch the best footage, we climbed the nearly 200 steps of the Medieval Staircase (the Scholar's Indoor Wooden Staircase) to reach the cemetery on the hill. Sighisoara - known as the City of Dracula, near the Carpathian Curvature Mountains. A medieval town with a very rich history and an abundance of tourists every year.

Crossing the Carpathians - Tihuta & Mestecanis - altitude 2000m

Having 1 more day left until our return flight to London and knowing that the biggest deforestations happen in the mountains, we decided to head towards Bucovina. We've crossed the mountains and found more touristic landmarks, breathtaking landscapes and also...after venturing for a little while, we found the Holzindustrie Schweighofer - allegedly, the biggest foreign company exploiting hundreds of thousands, if not even millions cubic meters of illegal wood every year.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holzindustrie_Schweighofer Soundtrack by: Metalog - Fatal Extremes - https://files.freemusicarchive.org/storage-freemusicarchive-org/music/Section_27/Metalogue/Paroxysm/Metalogue_-_05_-_Fatal_Extremes.mp3
