Poisoned Romania. The ruins of the communist industry is taking us to the grave three years earlier
Nearly one billion square meters of land in Romania is full of poisons and hundreds of thousands of Romanians are exposed to terrible diseases because of the communist industrial ruin. We have cyanide deposits in cities and 20,000 sites contaminated with toxic waste, that some of us live on.
For 20 years, the waste contamination responsibility has been passed from one government to another, and people are condemned to fall ill because they eat from contaminated sites and drink water from toxic contaminated wells.
The milk of animals is also contaminated, and toxic waste finally reaches the human body. Every few years, all the fish in the Aries river die suddenly.
In short, almost the entire chemicals table is surfaced.
The population of Baia Mare live on average three years less than those in the rest of the country.
The footage shot by Alex Nedea has already won the silver medal at the New York Festivals of World's Best TV and Films, and was broadcast in the October 6, 2013 edition of the Premiere show on Antena 3.
Television Festival of Monte Carlo was created in 1961 by His Highness Prince Rainier III, in order to encourage new art in the service of peace and understanding between people.
The ideal of this festival is that television should be recognized as an exceptional means whereby different cultures are brought together. Prince Albert II of Monaco is the honorary chairman of the Festival since 1988.
The best television programs worldwide were honored with Golden Nymphs statues copies of "Nymph Salmacis", made by sculptor François-Joseph Bosio (1768-1845).
