Helvetia: The History of a Swiss Village in the Mountains of West Virginia by David H. Sutton explores the unique founding and development of a community nestled within the wilderness of Appalachia. Established in 1869, this tiny Swiss settlement embodies the American immigrant experience, reflecting the steadfast desire of settlers to preserve cultural traditions and values while adapting to new and extraordinary surroundings.

A trip across western Switzerland – including Basel, Bern, Interlaken and Jungfrau, Lausanne, Lake Léman, Chillon and Geneve. Video recorded on mazely’s trip, on winter 2007. Soundratrack by mazely – a Brazilian who’s not used to -9ºC (15ºF), composed in June 2007. Originally in Portuguese. ~~~~ I’d like to thank my wife and the Korean guy who took my picture with the Jungfrau Peak (I’ll never know his name). And also thanks to Mike Shiva. My last “thank you” to the kind Portuguese waiter at Olympia restaurant, at Continental hotel – Lausanne (the city I liked the most). He gave me an unforgettable lesson about fondues – essential!
