The siege of Sarajevo was the longest in modern history. From April 1992 to February 1996, during the Bosnian War, 18 thousand men were called up to protect the city. Some took video cameras with them and registered the violence of the conflict. Now, 30 years later, this documentary reunites these footage, shows the vision of the ex-fighters and presents reflections on the cinema as a means of survival and resistance.
Presented at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
