Love Can Move Mountains by Gary Petrov

Love Can Move Mountains is the tale of how a 22-year-old woman in 1988 Dublin broke off an engagement and found love behind the Iron Curtain. Whether it’s the trials and tribulations of navigating a new romance beyond the summer, falling in love after falling out of love, organising a wedding between two countries on opposite sides of the continent, or integrating into each other’s lives – Love Can Move Mountains details the experience of a young Irish woman and what manifested from the serendipitous meet-cute with a young Bulgarian man during the downfall of the Iron Curtain era in Eastern Europe. Allow yourself to be taken on a journey to the late 1980s as my mother tells all in this tale of how she met my father – all thanks to her and a friend going on a package holiday to Bulgaria by chance instead of Cyprus and a dash of love moving a mountain or two. An interview recorded over one winter afternoon, my mother brought me down her very own memory lane. – Part 1: The Meet-Cute [01':18"] – Part 2: A Wedding and the Iron Curtain [19':38"] – Part 3: The Iron Curtain Has Fallen [33':32"] – Part 4: Looking Back in Retrospect and Advice to Future Generations [38':09"] Produced, narrated and researched by Gary Petrov Guest: Elizabeth Maguire-Petrov All of the music used in Love Can Move Mountains was sourced through Pixabay.
