Lost Tribe: A Story about the Lutsi Estonians

Overview

A documentary about the Lutsis, a vanished group of Estonians, and an exploration of their former villages on the eastern edge of Latvia in search of people who still remember them. The parallel story details Estonian academic and public intrest in their Lutsi countrymen from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries. Attempts to save "the lost tribe" from assimilation failed, but the Lutsi Estonians nevertheless deserve to be remembered.
