Summary:Interviews with Jadranka Cigelj and Nusreta Sivac, two of the women that were held captive in the Bosnian Serb concentration camp Omarska and were systematically tortured and humiliated by their Serb captors. The recorded material served for the 1996 “Calling the Ghosts” documentary which deals extensively with the women’s personal struggles for survival and their fight for justice - aiding other women similarly brutalized and lobbying to have rape included in the international lexicon of war crimes by the UN Tribunal at the Hague.
