The European Union “is the most incredible political invention in modern history.” But it is incomplete, threatened by its inner demons and external adversaries. Europe is a story of blood and reconciliation, of prosperity and unfinished dreams.
Europe carries within it the tragic memory of dictatorships and divisions, but also a shared imagination and a common culture. Cinema and archival images are there to remind us of this. The European identity exists beyond governments and bureaucracies. Its embodiment is also present today, carried by the Erasmus generation and the people of European citizens.
Today, the dysfunctions of the Union and the sovereignist pressures represent a peril but also a historic opportunity for a resurgence and to claim more Europe, now!
