Contents Summary
Shot in East and West Slavonia, on November 25–30,1996. East Slavonia fell under Serb control in 1991, an occasion which caused about 80,000 residents of Croatian nationality to flee to Croatia proper. Sixty thousand Serbs fled in the other direction and settled in East Slavonia side by side with the original Serb residents. Four women, from each of the ethnic groups in the region – some of whom are refugees, the others original residents – explain their experiences. UNHCR employees, Jim Worrall and Larry Fioretta, explain how they assist in facilitating a peaceful transition of power in the region. Footage included: UNTAES, Antunovac (East Slavonia), a Serb-marked house in Antunovac, Kusonje village in West Slavonia, and a mine field.
