Why It Happened In Yugoslavia?
Published on
As year 2012 ends the conflicts after the violent dissolution wars of Yugoslavia still are frozen ones it might be right time to summarize why all this happened. An exellent means for this is a Canadian documentary film ”The Weight of Chains”.
As opposed to general picture in western main stream media the film takes a critical look at the role that the US, NATO and the EU played in the tragic breakup of a once peaceful and prosperous European state - Yugoslavia. It will present strong arguments which uncover the true reasons behind Western intervention in the Balkans and why .
"The Weight Of Chains" deals with tough issues concerning the breakup of region and the consequences of a decade of instability and war. The film will present a Canadian perspective on Western involvement in the division of the ethnic groups within Yugoslavia and show that the war was forced from outside -- regular people wanted peace. An other similar approach from West was a Norwegian documentary film “Srebrenica: A Town Betrayed” which had its focus mostly in Bosnia. That documentary I covered in my earlier article and reactions after that in article ”Media War of Yugoslav Secession continues”.
The
film began with production in late 2009 in Canada, continued in early
2010 in the United States and was finalized in the Summer of 2010 in
Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia (and its province
Kosovo). The director of this film, ;Boris Malagurski, has made several
films to date, the last one being "Kosovo | Can You Imagine?", a
controversial documentary exposing how remaining Serbs in Kosovo have
little or no basic human rights, which won several awards on film
festivals around the world and was broadcasted as well.
