Tales of Ethnic Cleansing
The town of Knin in the former
Yugoslavia was cleansed of its entire population overjust one weekend in August. Nearly 200,000 Serbs fled from the advancing Croats, the largest one-off migration in Europe since the Second World War.
The refugees, who left with nothing and acknowledge they will never see their homes again, articulate their despair, while the local priest equates the experience with a living hell.
Allan Little visits the town that switched nationality in a day and sees how Croat control has fundamentally changed the area, with new shops, a new mayor, new residents occupying empty properties and even a marriage in the newly reopened Catholic church. Producer Phil Rees ; Editor Keith Bowers
