Contents Summary
This film seeks to emphasize how Serbs are deliberately destroying Croatian churches to eradicate Croats and destroy elements of their own history. According to the video, "Croatia is being attacked by some primeval darkness that's deeply rooted in the aggressor; they need to humiliate, to desecrate, to rape." The film also states that 350 churches have been destroyed or damaged throughout Croatia. HTV and amateur footage from 1991 show churches destroyed and damaged. Names and locations of churches are not identified. Images of Cardinal Franjo Kuharic are also included.
