by Steve Patterson
5 Males, 4
Females
Synopsis:
Set during the heat of the Bosnian conflict, a young Bosnian soldier deserts
his company, fleeing with his sister to a Sarajevo newspaper office in hopes of
striking a deal. In exchange for safe passage out of Bosnia, he will give
eyewitness testimony of his company’s participation in the massacres of Muslim
men and boys and systematic rapes of Muslim women. But before his testimony can
be recorded, the office is surrounded by Serbian infantry. The newspaper
editors are given 24 hours to give up the soldier or be stormed by the troops.
*Contains heavy
language and violence.
"Politics, money, religion,
power. The forces and circumstances that lead men to war are many and varied.
But the devastating human cost of war never changes. That's the stark and
visceral truth that's communicated in this Steve Patterson drama, which reminds
us of the terrible atrocities committed during the early 1990s war in Bosnia."
