plot synopsis:
This movie is a documentary about the fall of Srebrenica during the Bosnian civil war in 1995.

Predominantly, there is made use of original video material which was shot by the people involved themselves.

These people involved are Dutch Kfor-troops which were powerless when they had to see the execution of 7000 Bosnian Muslims by Serbians. Exactly these murders were deriding the colonial army.

Observations and experiences of the victims are simultaneously shown in this award-winning film.
