Contents Summary

In this documentary, philosopher and filmmaker Bernard-Henri Lévy examines the effects of war on Sarajevo and its inhabitants. He focuses on the psychological effects as well as the physical. Daily life under siege is shown through numerous interviews with Sarajevo residents. Many physical and historical structures are shown burning as well, including the National Library. The approach of the film is to show the suffering and humiliation endured by the residents of Sarajevo. This is achieved through Lévy's interviews with various Bosnian Croat, Serb, and Muslims throughout the city
