Contents Summary
This documentary depicts Dusko Tadic's hometown of Kozarac, using home videos that show the level of ethnic harmony which existed before the war. Interviewed are Tadic's former Bosnian Muslim friend, and Bosnian Muslims in pre-war Kozarac. Hamdija Demrovic, Omarska camp snds who paint the picture of the interconnectedness of Bosnian Serbs andurvivor, explains that the Bosnian Muslims in Kozarac did not expect to be killed by their Bosnian Serb neighbors. He also compares Omarska camp to Auschwitz. Eden Kararic, Omarska camp survivor, explains the difficulty to understand the ethnic hatred that ensued the war. He notes that the story in the Omarska camp was that Tadic forced Jasmin Haranic, Emir Karabasic, and Neno Alic (sp) to mutilate each others' genitals. Dzemal Paratusic, Omarska camp survivor, describes how Dusko Tadic called out Emir Karabasic by name, and how he later found out that Emir was still alive when his body was loaded onto a truck that took dead to an unidentified dump. Mira Tadic, Dusko Tadic's wife explains that her husband is only a small fish. She notes that people who would testify on behalf of Tadic are afraid to do so out of fear of being arrested in the Hague. Interviewed are also several of Tadic's family members. Tadic's two brothers Ljubomir and Mladen claim that Misa Danicic admitted publicly to having perpetrated the crimes Tadic is accused of, but that Danicic also enjoys protection by the local authorities. Other statements are made by Michael Wladimiroff, Tadic's defense lawyer. Home video footage includes: the building of Tadic's house, funeral of Tadic's father Ostoja, a pre-war cafe in Kozarac (Tadic's cafe?), Tadic sitting with Emir Karabasic (who was later killed in Omarska) at a celebration. Other footage: Tadic in trial, soldiers shooting and throwing grenades, a woman carrying two children, destroyed buildings in Kozarac, massacred bodies, Manjaca camp, Omarska camp, outside of the camp, photograph of Misa Danicic, and ICTV footage of Omarska camp survivors testimonies.
