CULTURE CLASHES
It may seem that a collision between peoples of different cultures is inevitable and that the world, that different groups of people inhabit, is like a ticking time bomb. However, films from the programme “Culture Clashes” reveal that a conflict has a thousand faces, not just one. A cultural collision is like a battlefield where two unyielding parties meet. However, it can also be a desperate attempt to hide and protect something different, illogical and — for this reason — special.
