Riven Threads follows the traces of parachutes – from National Socialist silk production in Germany to the Battle of Crete. Where planes rarely flew, 10,000 paratroopers jumped onto the island in May 1941. Cretan women recall their memories of the German terror during the occupation. They cut up the parachutes and recycled them as handkerchiefs.
