Synopsis

“Free Flow” chronicles the efforts of local communities, environmental organisations and activists in Albania to halt the destruction of the precious Valbona and Vjosa rivers, protected areas now under threat by the Albanian government attempting to build numerous hydro power plants. This is the main challenge for Albania’s environment in the twenty first century, a country in which 526 destructive hydro plants have already received the green light from authorities. This timely doc presents a resistance movement led by local residents and environmental activists who are standing up against the devastating wave of hydro power plants in Albania over the last decade.
