Directed by filmmaker and photographer Britt Caillouette, Blue Heart aims to raise global public awareness about the massive scale and long-term negative impact of the Balkan Rivers hydropower boom.

More than 3,000 hydropower dams and diversions are either proposed or in the process of being built on Europe’s last wild rivers in the Balkans and will cause irreversible damage to rivers, wildlife and local communities. Blue Heart documents the battle for the largest undammed river in Europe - Albania’s Vjosa - the effort to save the endangered Balkan lynx in Macedonia, and the women of Kruščica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are spearheading a months-long, 24/7 protest to protect their community’s only source of fresh water.
