Following sampling protocol we collected samples of water from the Soča after a leak from the TKK factory on April 21st. The samples of polluted water from Trnovo and Kobarid were delivered to the National Laboratory for Health, Environment and Food, today, to perform an independent analysis. Why? Because of the fact that on the day of the spill, the director of TKK didn’t have any clue about the amount of spilled substance or the type of compound leaked. And the fact that the police did not allow concerned locals to access to the location that inspectors were doing official sampling. Due to these factors, we have reason to doubt […]

Danes smo vzorce vode iz Soče, ki smo jih po včerajšnjemu izpustu iz tovarne TKK po vzorčevalnem protokolu zbrali  v Trnovem in Kobaridu, dostavili na Nacionalni laboratorij za zdravje, okolje in hrano. Zakaj? Zato, ker po vrhunskem sprenevedanju direktorja TKK glede količine izlite snovi in tipa spojine ter dejstvu, da policisti na kraj uradnega vzorčenja inšpektorjev niso dovolili dostopa zaskrbljenim domačinom, upravičeno dvomimo v objektivnost uradnih rezultatov analiz. Rezultati analiz bodo predvidoma objavljeni v drugi polovici naslednjega tedna.    

This morning Soča downstream of factory TKK looks like this: Video: Bovec sport center A huge amount (2-6 tones) of yet unidentified chemical leaked from factory TKK in @socavalley. As expected mayors of municipalities Bovec and Kobarid did nothing (local firefighters did best they could tho to stop the spread) and haven’t even given a public statement about it till this moment. This is why people gathered in front of the factory and demanded to know who’s responsibility this catastrophe is and who and how will make sure this never happens again. Let’s hold fingers crossed that wildlife survives this insane case of negligence. Would you swim in this? Would […]

Danes zjutraj Soča dolvodno od TKK izgleda takole: Video: Bovec sport center Neštetokrat smo vsi z vsaj malo razuma pod kapo županom in ostalim lokalnim šefirom govorili, da je ta tovarna (v lastništvu belgijske družbe Soudal Holding) tempirana bomba in da tveganje za katastrofo ne odtehta 270 služb, ki jih nudi. A odgovor je bil vedno “Ja kaj, če pa daje zaposlitve in denar v naše blagajne…dajmo jim soglasje, da se širijo.” Razumemo, denar vam je pač vse, a tudi v tem vidiku bi bili lahko dovolj brihtni, da bi vedeli, da Soča daje kruh mnogo več ljudem kot tale fabrika. Če tokrat odgovorni ne bodo odgovarjali, je zadeva zrela […]

Po lanskem Balkan Rivers Tour 5, urah uporabnih materialov, ki smo jih posneli med spoznavanjem Save, in mesecih v montaži, je končno tu uradni napovednik prihajajočega filma Ena za reko: Zgodba Save. vimeo link Obstaja reka, ki iz osrčja Julijskih Alp teče skozi štiri države in številne pokrajine, vse do Beograda, kjer se izliva v Donavo, ki svojo pot konča v Črnem morju. Imenuje se Sava in je domača reka večini ekipe za in pred kamerami tega filma. Kljub temu, da živijo poleg nje, mnogi nikoli ne izkoristijo priložnosti, da bi jo zares spoznali. Kajakaški izlet po celotnem slovenskem delu reke (258 km) zagotavlja prav to, zato so se odločili, […]

After last year’s Balkan Rivers Tour 5, hours of useful materials we filmed while getting to know the Sava, and months in editing, here is the official trailer for the upcoming film One for the River: The Sava Story. vimeo link There is a river that flows from the heart of the Julian Alps through four countries and many landscapes, all the way to Belgrade, where it drains into the Danube, ending its journey in the Black Sea. It is called the Sava and is the home river of most of the team behind and in front of the cameras of this film. Despite living next to it, many never […]
