89 Millimeter is a documentary by filmmaker Sebastian Heinzel, filmed in 2004 in Belarus. [1]
The film explores the life of six young Belarusians facing their futures in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The titular 89 millimeters refer to the difference between the gauge of the railway tracks of Belarus and those of its western neighbors. The difference is small, but symbolizes how the border of the "last dictatorship in Europe" marks the edge of a different world.
