Overview

Since the collapse of the communist regime in 1989, Bulgaria has experienced the most extreme population decline in the world. Low birth rates, high death rates, and two large waves of emigration have pushed many villages to the verge of extinction. Altimir explores life in one of Bulgaria's disappearing villages, haunted by the promises of communism and capitalism. Yordan Dimitrov is our guide to the life that remains.
