Synopsis
The east Bosnian town of Srebrenica came to sad prominence in 1995: Serbian nationalists murdered 8000 Muslim men and boys during the Bosnian war. 15 Years have passed by since the genocide, but it is still present: The women are missing their husbands, their brothers, their fathers, their sons. Radovan Karadžić and his general Ratko Mladić, who are mainly responsible for the massacre, have not been punished: One is boycotting the trial in The Hague, the other lives an undisturbed life in Serbia. In this film, people from Srebenica get a chance to speak. They talk about their hard life, about unemployment, about the hope for a peaceful coexistence and the longing for justice: Hatiđa Mehmedović wishes there will never be war again, Amra Begić is dreaming of Srebrenica as a place where people of different ethnic groups can and want to live, Namir Porić strives for life in peace like before the war, before the terrible massacre in 1995. Will the dreams and hopes of the people of Srebrenica come true? Or will this east Bosnian town keep stumbling over its own history day after day? Only the future holds the answers – SREBRENICA 360° shows the presence, with its everyday life and its longings. A film full of history and stories. A contemporary document against forgetting.
