Back at Balaton after a failed escape attempt
Original Caption
"Late in the evening on 22 August 1989, Hungarian border guards arrested us while trying to escape. Given our evident unfamiliarity with the area, we were apprehended for heading straight for a border station. Someone arranged for an interpreter, a report was written and we were released and escorted back out of the border area by an army jeep.
The photos taken the next day perhaps convey some of the void and helplessness we felt in the days that followed."
