Synopsis: Filmed over three decades, Danube Delta: The Amazon of Europe is a feature-length documentary that captures the profound ecological evolution of one of Europe’s last great wildernesses. The Danube Delta, renowned for its pristine wetlands and virgin forests, stands as a critical refuge for biodiversity. This film traces the region’s journey from the environmental disruption of forced industrialization during the communist era, through the contemporary threats of overtourism and rapid habitat degradation. At the same time, it highlights emerging efforts to restore ecological balance—such as the successful reintroduction of native species like jackals and beavers. Combining long-term observation with scientific insight, the documentary offers a compelling portrait of both environmental decline and the promise of rewilding in a rapidly changing Europe.
