Description

Mirror to History: Confronting War crimes in Bosnia takes an inside look at the international war crimes prosecutions taking place in Bosnia. In a country of remarkable beauty and cultural richness, experiences with war crimes unseen in Europe since the concentration camps of WWII continue to plague the efforts of people to rebuild their lives. Is it possible to break the cycles of revenge, and return the fledgling Bosnian nation to its feet? Seeking out witnesses and investigating the circumstances surrounding the war crimes cases, this narrated documentary encounters a complex web of history, nationalism and hope for the future by juxtaposing testimonials of high government and United Nations officials with witnesses and people in the street. Witnesses to the conflict explain and demystify the most recent Bosnian War with compelling testimony of de-moralization, resistance, and the struggles of achieving a tolerant and multiethnic Bosnia. Judges and prosecutors explain, the law is confronted and the initiators are exposed in this look inside the legacy of war crimes in Bosnia. Mirror to History Witnesses to the conflict explain and demystify the most recent Bosnian War with compelling testimony of de-moralization, resistance, and the struggles of achieving a tolerant and multiethnic Bosnia.
