Lithuania 1993 A documentary as filmed by Algimantas Jomantas (1934 - 2/16/2004) of Geelong, Australia - Born in Lithuania - portrays Lietuva just after re establishment of Independence. He walks through various cities, towns, and notable places - Historical monuments that were left in disrepair.
He gave me his recordings on VHS tapes in 2001 and mentioned to me that Maybe "Some Day" we will be able to see these on the Internet to show a slice of life in Lithuania during different time periods.
I converted these VHS tapes to a viewable format. The results are the same quality as the original.
Algimantas passed away in 2003, but his wish finally came true. The music you hear in the background is traditional Lithuanian folk music going back hundreds of years in some cases and that of Virgis Stakenas, part of Lithuanian history.
