Transnistria: Russia’s Forgotten Front

In the heart of Europe, there lies a region suspended in time—Transnistria, an unrecognized, self-declared Soviet relic. Our documentary takes you on a vivid journey into a world seemingly frozen in the Soviet era. Reporters Antoine Brimbal and Michael Archer engage deeply with the local populace through on-the-ground interviews and undercover reporting, diving into the lives of those who inhabit this unique area. They explore the distinct culture, ongoing struggles, and aspirations for a brighter future of the people of Transnistria. Filmed in 2024, the documentary also dissects the intricate political dynamics at play, presenting Transnistria as Russia’s strategic front in Europe, a pivotal point for exerting influence and destabilizing Moldova. This raw and unfiltered exploration offers a fascinating and unsettling glimpse into a society where past and present clash, where geopolitical tensions simmer just beneath the surface, and where dreams of recognition and improvement linger. Join us as we reveal the untold story of Transnistria, a place that is far more than merely a relic of the Soviet Union.
