Contents Summary
A broadcast on the Bosnian Serbs' toppling of the UN Safe Haven Srebrenica in July, 1995, this report uses the small village of Lehovici as a window into the slaughter. This rare footage taken by a cameraman permitted inside the Srebrenica area during the cleansing campaign shows Muslim men scrambling through the woods on the "March of Death" to Tuzla. Mladic is seen driving through the streets after the siege and at the UN site of Potocari, where Dutch UN troops were stationed and men were separated from women and children. Survivors tell of escaping death narrowly and of thousands of Muslim men still missing or presumed dead. Krstic is seen behind men in black who are taking down the Bosnian Muslim flag. Includes footage of Mladic saying "On to Potocari..."
