This was a Video Diary made by the BBC’s Community Programme Unit. Video Diaries was set up to give people a small camera to record their everyday lives. In this programme Ylli Hasani, a local doctor living in rural Albania, recorded his life over more than a year. A year when Albanians voted for the first time in years and Ylli tried to get a visa to go to Italy to escape the all enveloping poverty around him. He had perfect English, learned from the BBC World Service, and his hero was Gary Lineker.
