DAMBUSTERS

We invite you to watch the film #DamBusters: The start of riverlution, followed by a discussion with the „Balkanka“ Association, to answer questions related to Bulgaria's rivers and the association's 13-year struggle to protect them.


Who are the most inspiring people working tirelessly to restore Europe's rivers? We call them "dam busters." Pau Fernández Garrido from the coalition "Dam Removal in Europe" has a mission: to see their work in local rivers and share these exciting stories to inspire more river restoration.

The film #DamBusters follows Pao's journey through his native Spain, France—the European cradle of river barrier removal—Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland. The most iconic river liberation cases to date, ready to impress you.
