[UNLOCKED] 42: Whose is this Nationalism?

TENE Crüe analyzes an extremely interesting Bulgarian documentary/travelogue from 2003 called Whose is this Song? (Chia e tazi pesen? / Чия е тази песен?) which follows the director, Adela Peeva, as she follows the multiple claims on and origin stories for a single song from her childhood. Beginning in Turkey, Peeva travels to Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria; at each stop locals claim this song as their own, often denying that other nations are even capable of its composition.
