Summary:
From the east: "A journey from the end of summer to deepest winter, across Eastern Europe to Moscow."--Container. South: "An evocation of how the brutal murder of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper, Texas, fits into a landscape as mental as it is physical."--Container. From the other side: "The flow of illegal immigration to San Diego has largely been blocked, but for the desperate, there are still the dangerous deserts of Arizona."--Container. Down there: "Akerman spends a month in Tel Aviv, in an apartment by the sea, contemplating her family, her Jewish identity and her childhood."--Container. Chantal Akerman, from here: "An hour-long conversation with Chantal Akerman about her films and her directorial philosophy."--Container.
