We decided to present this documentary which portrays the beginning of the transitional period in Bulgaria from communism to democracy and to introduce some of the people who started the transition.
You will see the main authors of the Report Rahn-Utt, you will find reasons for their participation in it and their feelings then and now.
The Documentary is for those who want to know how it all started and how it happened.
This Documentary is also for those with a short memory and lack of information, for those who easily draw incorrect conclusions and today blame the Rahn-Utt plan for what occurred in the country during the past two decades. Inferring causality where there may be none has led to a negative perception about the plan amongst some people in Bulgaria.
We would like to show that the intention of its authors was to find the safest possible route for the country during a stormy and unprecedented transition.
Unfortunately the advice presented in this report was not followed in a timely manner. On the contrary, many of the reforms introduced by politicians in the country were in direct opposition to the proposals of the report. For this reason, much of it remained simply an untapped opportunity.
