A Revolt Against Rising Prices
Ivan Shutov warns the driver to slow down on the pockmarked road. His team is making its way around potholes, toward the tumble-down shacks of the Stolipinovo section of Plovdiv in Bulgaria. They have a tricky assignment in this poor little neighborhood.
Stolipinovo houses Bulgaria’s largest Roma community and Shutov, from the state electrical company NEK, is here with a police escort to try to collect payments on electricity bills.
