Berge Istra
Short Pula - Short Documentary Films
Uljanik has built the largest ship in the world. It was the greatest success of self-managing socialism. Three years after the launch, the ship mysteriously disappeared in the Pacific. The largest naval search thus far was launched, and after twenty days the ship was declared missing, and the largest compensation in history was paid. Through intimate witness stories, conversations with shipbuilders, sailors and victims families, using previously unpublished archival material, Berge Istra explores the secret of the disappearance of the Yugoslav Titanic, one of the greatest mysteries in maritime history.
