N.E.P.

N.E.P., also known as The Stones God Threw on the Barricades, was created as an independent project by TV Bordoshbagn for A1 Independent Television in Skopje. This documentary delves into the contradictions of power and the experiences of ordinary individuals navigating the aftermath of socialism.

The film addresses the misleading narratives promoted by various well-meaning missionaries and organizations in the context of the former socialist states. It poses important questions about the efficacy of parliamentary democracy and the lingering confusion among citizens who have lived under a different regime.

With its unique focus on the aesthetics of power transformation, N.E.P. provides insights into the struggles faced by those in transitional societies. This documentary stands out for its critical approach to commonly accepted beliefs about freedom and democracy, making it a thought-provoking addition to any film collection.
