A FEW CHUNKS OF CHEESE
synopsis
Over the past twenty years the number of Bulgarian household farms has fallen from 80,000 to just 2,000. Mina Vardzhieva ran one of these farms. Her story reflects a fate shared by thousands. For decades, Mina has made cheese, keeping her herd and her farm alive through stubborn grit and sleepless nights. She has endured the chaos of Bulgaria’s gangster years, pressure from health authorities, bird flu, and African swine fever. Now she faces a choice: whether to leave everything behind and take on a new role – as a grandmother on a luxury island off the U.S. East Coast: Martha’s Vineyard.
