Procreation is the social duty of all fertile women, was the political thinking during the 1960s and 1970s in Romania. In 1966, Ceaucescu issued Decree 770, in which he forbade abortion for all women unless they were over forty or were already taking care of four children. All forms of contraception were totally banned. The New Romanian Man was born. By 1969, the country had a million babies more than the previous average. Romanian society was rapidly changing. By using very interesting archival footage and excerpts from old fiction films and by interviewing famous personalities from that time – gynecologists or mothers who were part of the new society - the director revives this period of tremendous oppression of personal freedom. Many deaths were caused by the mere fact that women, including wives of secret Romanian agents, famous TV presenters, and actresses, had to undergo illegal abortions. Many women were jailed for having them.

Communication is a reality of the 21st Century, even for the most isolated people. Remote tribes around the world struggle to adapt to the intrusions of the Western civilization. This film brings forward tribes scattered on 5 continents: the San of the Kalahari Desert, the native tribes from the Amazonian forest, the Inuit from the Arctic polar circle, the Pygmies of the Congo rain forest, the indigenous of the Vanuatu archipelago and the Hmong tribes from Northern Vietnam. Their contact with the white civilization throughout history followed the way of violence and the way of abandonment. 16 years ago, someone found another way: A Third Way to reach tribes. This is the story of a new approach and communication between civilizations.
The Third Way to Reach Remote Tribes
Diagnosed with a brain tumor and given only three years to live, director Răzvan Georgescu sets out to explore the realm between life and death, calling on some of its most famous "inhabitants". The film begins on an operating table in Germany and then follows its author on a personal journey through the Venetian canals, Broadway and Sunset Boulevard, coming full circle in his native Romania. The director thus initiates a deep research of the real, through which he can reach, from the knowledge and understanding of others, to self-knowledge and self-understanding. He records not his own sensations, but the testimonies of other people who have gone through similar experiences (composers, painters, sculptors or writers). Captivating, disturbing and surprisingly humorous, the documentary is an extreme emotional ride through a series of revelatory encounters with artists hoping to stand the test of time.
