As tensions between Russia and the West reach dangerous new heights, this gripping documentary travels to the heart of the Baltic region, where fear, history, and geopolitics collide.

Through rare access, personal testimonies, military exercises, and on-the-ground reporting, discover a region living on the frontline of Europe’s most volatile geopolitical standoff.
