Description: This history of one Alpine village illustrates a 1000 year struggle for survival, from medieval times until the post-World-War-II period. It depicts the daily life of a peasant community whilst reflecting the broader cultural and political changes of an evolving nation.
Synopsis: Switzerland is a remarkable country half of whose territory lies in the Alps. The raising of cattle and the making of cheese eventually brought a modest wealth to the peasants but the destructive Napoleonic invasion brought revolution and poverty. The democratic unification of Switzerland created a common market and a single currency. This history of one alpine village illustrates a one-thousand-year struggle for survival on the edge of this white wilderness.
