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.

At the moment I do have a few name versions of the video, but I am still deciding. Though a correlation between the trees used by Vlad the Impaler to kill and the crimes committed so far to obtain wood logs from the Romanian forests could turn out to work really well. I am planing to open the video with the general context of climate change (mentioning the burning Amazon, measures taken in Africa to protect the forests, etc) going into the capitalist Europe, bring in the travel element and then zooming in into the Romanian forests.  I will present then some general and quite important issues regarding deforestations at a national level and then I will direct the focus onto Hoia-Baciu Forest. The haunted forest, the "Bermuda Triangle of Romania", as it is also known. https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=hoia+baciu+romania+map&fr=yhs-Lkry-SF01&hspart=Lkry&hsimp=yhs-SF01&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Flh4.ggpht.com%2F-I_zTJFXQGKY%2FVPLSnVRwB5I%2FAA...
