Lithuania and the Collapse of the USSR (2009)
A meditation on the time when the world watched as filmmaker Jonas Mekas' home country of Lithuania fought for independence. An immersion into the addictive grasp of the 24-hour news cycle, into a moment of major social upheaval, and into one very personal fixation of an obsessive chronicler. The film exists in a shortened, four-screen version as well as a one-screen, full-length document.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
