Ordinary People
The civil war in former
Yugoslavia has created more than two million refugees, victims of the sort of inhumanity and prejudice
Europe thought it had banished to history forever. And now, while the politicians bicker and the peace plans are bounced back and forth, the human cost of the Bosnian crisis continues to mount.
This film reports from
Karlovac, a UN transit camp in Croatia, a warren of stinking rooms and corridors that offers sanctuary to 3,000 broken people. It records the shattered lives of those for whom it has now become "home".
"We were playing tennis when they came in their tanks and rounded us up. We were taken to a concentration camp. My name is Muslim, you see," says one man. He was lucky. Half starving, he was rescued and taken to Karlovac.
