Rich vineyards, fertile pastures, and most arable land lie along the road connecting the two Armenian villages of Baghanis and Voskepar. The stretch of tarmac in the north of country is part of the artery linking Yerevan to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. It also leans onto the border with Azerbaijan and shootouts from the other side  have become increasingly regular. Yet, villagers and drivers have no other choice than to keep up with their daily life. ["Driving Along the Shooting Line" was filmed at the end of October 2016]
