SARAJEVO, MON AMOUR [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
| This is my humblest homage to the people of Sarajevo, who have endured, during what was to become the longest siege in mankind's modern history, such sufferings I could hardly tell and I could share, stay after stay in the Bosnian capital, only in ludicrous amount. My strongest hope is the viewer won't forget 10,615 dead - 1615 children amongst them - and more than 50,000 wounded people. The siege of Sarajevo lasted from April 5, 1992, to February 26, 1996, that is 1395 days. |
