Cathedral Park (2007) Online
Vai's parents, Basti and Miora, risked everything to escape their small, war torn country of Otisia and give their unborn child a better life. Now a teenager, Vai has little interest in her people's culture until she finds a box of hidden film revealing raw footage of a German documentary in Otisia, with her parent's as guides. With her friend Katie they begin making their own documentary to try and unravel what happened. This sets off a chain of events that bend the lines between the old world and the new and blur reality from fiction.
