director Milan Petković
During the last war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 1992 to 1995, thousands of Serb women were raped and tortured in Croatian-Muslim detention camps. The world knows very little about their suffering, and the perpetrators mostly live and work unpunished!
A large number of women, girls, even little girls, suffered in terrible pains. A certain number of women who survived abuses have retreated into themselves, and today they are on the margins of social life.
The film is intended to discover the full truth about the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so the future would not be built on deception.
