The last border

The project tries to document the personal battle between dreams and reality that face a group of young people in the military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. This conflict, still alive but forgotten by the headlines, strikes a generation that was born during the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, just after the collapse of the Soviet Unión. The young people I have been following for the past 24 months, leave their motherland for work or education. However, after a while they go back to Karabakh aiming at building a future for themselves and their families as well as to support the fight of their country on the recognition by the international community.
