Contents Summary

This film shows several Bosnian Government Army soldiers in Tuzla, and female Bosnian soldiers in training near Tesanj, located near Tuzla, struggling to defend the long tradition of multi-ethnic coexistence in this Bosnian city. In Tuzla, Muslims, Croats, Serbs, and men and women of mixed heritage are seen fighting together. Several of these men and women briefly describe their experiences, attitudes toward war and their enemy, and their reasons for fighting. The Serbian church and cemetery in Tuzla are shown preserved in perfect condition, while the Mosques are shown desecrated.
