Contents Summary
This documentary is a very in-depth investigation into the ethnic cleansing of the Bosnian town of Kozarac. Gras interviews a handful of refugees from Kozarac and attempts to reconstruct the order of events that led up to the cleansing of Kozarac. Each refugee describes their experience in detail and how they escaped death. There are interviews with many who describe the condition in Trnopolje and Omarska detention camp. Interviews: a Serb woman describes how the war strted in Kozarac; Imin, Omarska survivor describes how Dusko Tadic forced him to bite off the testicles of prisoners previously tortured; Prijedor Police Chief Simo Drljaca and Prijedor Military Commander Dr. Micko Kovacevic cite reasons for the war in Bosnia; Zeljko Mejakic leads tour of Omarska camp. Gras investigates and presents hard evidence of numerous atrocities committed during the falling of Kozarac. Included is footage of Tadic passing by a German TV camera which lead to his arrest and extradition to the Hague Tribunal.
