Irish journalist Maggie O'Kane (The Guardian) analyzes the roots of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. O'Kane examines Milosevic's rise to power, his role in the destruction of the Yugoslav federation, and his connection to paramilitary leaders Zeljko Raznjatovic, aka "Arkan," and Vojislav Seselj. O'Kane conducts research into the roots of the war in Bosnia and Serbia proper. Interviews are conducted with Desa Traveson (Belgrade correspondent for the London Times), Milos Vasic (journalist for the Belgrade independent "Vreme"), Bojan Stojanic (Serbian photographer), Arkan, Vojislav Seselj, Milan Panic, a Chetnik ("Duke" from Grbavica), and Slavko Lesic. Belgrade journalists describe how the Serbian media is influenced and controlled by politicians. Footage from Sarajevo, Kosovo, Serbian TV, and Vukovar is also included.
