Contents Summary

Sarajevo under siege is the central focus of this broadcast, with specific emphasis on the psychological damage caused by war. People are shown in mental hospitals and interviews are held with psychiatrists. A montage of images showing Sarajevo burning and being bombed is featured, as well as Radovan Karadzic, leader of the Bosnian Serbs, filmed in the hills above Sarajevo commending soldiers with artillery and rifle scopes set on Sarajevo. Among the people shown, some suffer from severe psychological damage from the war, ranging from soldiers off the front line to working professionals and civilians of all ages. Bomb shelter footage is also shown, showing the effects of the prolonged time spent there.
