TUSHURAI

A documentary short and feature-length film by Anna R. Japaridze and Robert Hope

As the only road leading to the Caucasus mountain region of Tusheti, Georgia, closes for winter, a few determined holdouts remain.

Experiencing time outside the flow of state regulation and consumer exchange, this smattering of people form a tight, interdependent group — navigating economic hardship, intergenerational friction, and uncertainty over their community’s future.
