Contents Summary

The WITNESS Kosovo Project traveled throughout the countryside, visiting the sites of several massacres and interviewing the friends, relatives and eyewitnesses of the massacres. The Kosovar journalists working with WITNESS ventured into heavily mined fields just days after the reported killings, filming the dead bodies spread out on the ground with no cover or burial. Several individuals give personal testimony and opinions about the NATO bombings and political struggles. |This footage is from the Ereniku River in the village of Rize, near Gjakova. There is footage of a charred cadaver, found by children playing near the river, one of 2 unidentified victims murdered on June 2, 1999. There is then footage of 2 more burnt corpses and possessions of victims of a massacre in Meh, which took place on May 26, 1999. There are shots of the spot where 2 unidentified children were buried near the site of the massacre. A survivor from Meh is interviewed. Last, there is footage of a mass grave in the village of Kroniq, where about 80 people are said to be buried. There is narration throughout the video supplying location, date and background information.
