Dear Albania

Eliza Dushku, a well-known American actress, is of mixed Danish and Albanian descent. In the past few years, she's become passionately interested in and connected to her ancestral country. In DEAR ALBANIA, she explores Albania's present, travels back in time to its past and hears its hopes for the future. For Eliza and her brother, actor and producer Nate Dushku, it's a journey of cultural, historical and personal discovery. In a trip that includes visits to 15 unique cities throughout the country, Eliza and Nate experience a disparate landscape that ranges from fabulous coastlines to teeming urban centers and enchanting mountain villages, each with their own stories to tell. The project incorporates cultural touchstones such as food, music, fashion, sports and nightlife, while illuminating Albanian customs and the environmental, socio-economic and political issues facing the people of Albania today.
