The history that is taught and passed on from generation to generation treats events from an academic perspective, and frequently ends up diminishing the importance of personal histories, those individual narrations that build the communities to which we belong. We also live in an age of information, one in which each may choose their own way of relating to history, and this often gives rise to social opposition.
MYTH SHOW: A History of Distrust explores the way in which the members of a community relate to major episodes of recent history, from the contemporaries of the peasant uprising of 1907 to the former workers of the Săvinești Industrial Platform, who felt the full brunt of the post-communist transition, and the pupils and teachers who have recently been experiencing online schooling.
