WILD CARPATHIA SERIES - CHARLIE OTTLEY - FASCINATING
Here's the first in the series. Found this so fascinating. Bears - Wolves - Medieval settlements - and covering an expanse as large as Great Britain.
If you like it, you can find the rest of the series on YouTube (until I get around to posting it all!)

A LIBRARIAN LIGHTS MY FUSE WITH HER COMMENT ABOUT HUNGARY BEING A " SMALL COUNTRY"
Luckily, the library I go to has a small collection of films from Hungary that also have English as an option. However, the collection of travel films when it comes to Central and Eastern Europe is terrible, just a couple very dated DVDs that pack Hungary in with other countries. These films are over quick.
Meanwhile countries like Great Britain and France, even Mexico, are represented on the DVD film shelves with large collections. So I asked the librarian when they are ordering more films for the library collection to please buy some that are current and that feature Hungary.
She said, "But Hungary is just a SMALL COUNTRY!"
Yes, I said, "It fits in the state of Indiana, just like France fits in Colorado (or was that Poland?)," knowing damn well that she wasn't really talking about how many square miles a country is but HOW IMPORTANT!
If anything, Hungary should be considered especially unique based on its language which is a mystery to this day, with so many experts with opinions that vary on the roots of it. Hungarians are a mystery too because even with so much research on DNA, there are many theories about where exactly these Hungarians came from, or what tribes of people they mixed with before they arrived in the area we know as Hungary.
PLEASE ASK YOUR LIBRARIANS TO ORDER IN DVD'S ABOUT HUNGARY, and as a Magyar-American emphasize the cultural, historical, and other importance of this "small" country!

PEACE VIDEO FROM HUNGARY - ROMANIA FRIENDS
Is PEACE too much to ask? HERE IS WHAT HUNGARYROMANA FRIENDS HAS TO SAY on their YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
"All open minded Romanians and Hungarians which have a need of closing between our nations are welcomed. Lets break down the walls built from lies, ignorance, and blind hate together! Lets meet in discussions or at cultural events to enrich each other. This page's idea was found by three men who want peace between Romania and Hungary and their videos were made to sound it."
