Contents Summary
This documentary offers a very detailed history of Sarajevo beginnig in the 14th century through the present. It tells how each ruler and more powerful Sarajevan influenced life in the city by building bridges and cultural monuments. The city is portrayed as a unity of differing nationalities who have co-existed through the centuries, and two world wars. Old pictures and paintings, as well as archival footage from the beginning of the century are shown throughout the documentary. These give a neat outlook into the history, customs and the people of Sarajeo. The narrator tells several local legends surrounding certain bridges, water fountains, and buildings, and the citizens who built them.
