Contents Summary
These broadcasts are a collage of reports from earlier stages of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The segments focus, primarily, on the dialogue within France from that time debating intervention and humanitarian aid. The pervasive sexual violation of Bosnian women is also discussed, estimating that some 20,000 to 60,000 women have been victims of this war crime. Witnesses to rape are shown, coupled with the recorded confession of a Bosnian Serb detention camp guard that committed rape under orders, and a brief interview with alleged war criminal Sretko Damjanovic. Footage of refugees, detention camps, Sarajevo, and Vukovar are included as well.
