Contents Summary
This program features parents searching for their dead children, refugee camps, and tales of rape and general maltreatment. The stories told are divided into four segments: part one focuses on the story of Desa and Ilja, a middle-aged couple in search of their young son who was murdered; part two focuses on a refugee camp in Zagreb where 600,000 Muslims and Croats have fled, interviewing them about what they endured—Muslim and Croat women tell of beatings, rape, and torture by Serbian soldiers in Bosnia; part three features historical footage and more graphic accounts of atrocities; and in part four troops return from battle. Graphic footage is shown throughout the film.
