Fractured Societies and the Future We're Building Visar Morina's Sundance winning drama "Shame and Money" offers a scathing portrayal of economic desperation in Kosovo.
However, its themes extend far beyond the borders of one war scarred country, serving as a stark reminder that social ills are not unique to Kosovo but rather symptoms of a broader crisis unfolding across modern day Europe.
Morina's experiences as an immigrant from Kosovo to Germany in the 1990s have clearly influenced his work. His latest film follows Shaban and Hatixhe, a couple struggling to make ends meet on their rural farm.
