Contents Summary

This program explains how the relationships between Muslim and Catholic/Croat families changed when war came to their village near Kiseljak, Bosnia, where they used to coexist peacefully. At first, Muslims were united with Croats in defense of their village against the Serb aggression. The program then shows how the increasing nationalism fueled Catholics/Croats to turn against Muslims. This program examines the effect of this conflict on human relationships: families and friendships. It shows how families became divided and neighbors became enemies. Images shown include men on the frontlines, women praying in a mosque, Kiseljak under Croat control, and people fleeing.
