Description
Summary:Footage of the collapse of the Berlin Wall is combined with images of Serb soldiers pointing their guns at Sarajevo, people running to avoid sniper fire, and the general destruction of Sarajevo. Hotel Europe, Zetra stadium, the Sarajevo library and the Parliament building are shown burning. Footage from HTV, TVS, and amateur video document the Ahatovici massacre that took place on June 15, 1992, as well as the “Bread Line Massacre” when civilians who were waiting in line for bread on May 27, 1992 on Vaso Miskin Street were indiscriminately killed by an artillery shell. The film also includes information from the 1991 census in Bosnia, presents maps of the ethnic make-up of Bosnia, and tells the Jewish community's history in Bosnia. Archival footage from WWII and images from the war in Bosnia are combined to illustrate the similarities of the two wars.
