Capitalism at Crossroad Street

This documentary offers a unique perspective on the lives of people living on Pārdaugava’s Crossroad Street. It revisits these individuals for the third time, first documenting their experiences in the late 1980s, then during the tumultuous 1990s, and now in 2013. Each film captures the significant changes in their environment and circumstances through the lens of historical events.

As part of the Crossroad Street Collection, this film provides continuity for viewers interested in the socio-economic transformations in post-Soviet Latvia. The documentary genre allows for intimate storytelling that highlights the resilience and adaptations of the community through various phases of change. Collectors of documentaries or those focused on Eastern European history may find this film particularly relevant in understanding the local impact of broader political shifts.
