Documentary – The lost world of communism part 3 (Romania)
Thomas Young

Notmsparker inspired me to want to watch all three documentaries about the Lost World of Communism.
I already watched the first documentary. A lot of things in the GDR (German Democratic Republic) I would not have liked.
Maybe for a young child, if you had parents who could lead a comparatively ‘normal’ life, it was not such a bad place to live. Most adults and older children were always in danger of being prosecuted. This is the way I see it. During the 1980s this so called workers’ paradise took some really bad turns. This documentary about the GDR shows quite a few things how more and more people got disillusioned about their so called ‘paradise’ even though to some extend ‘normal’ life did go on.
