In this second program on Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War, we look at a number of SAGA films produced while Bosnia was under siege between1992 and1993, including Sarajevo Ground Zero I. We meet Hrvoje Batinic of the Open Society Fund as he reads a quote while standing in the midst of war-created ruins. We listen to Pulitzer Prize winner and NY Times' foreign correspondent John Burns' voice as he describes the devastation that he sees while traveling through the once crowded streets. Bosnian producer and director Ademir Kenovic tells his story, as does American Tony Borden, editor of the Balkan War Report, now renamed the Institute for War & Peace Reporting. The late writer and political activist Susan Sontag, along with humanitarian Fred Cuny, who mysteriously disappeared in Chechnya while seeking to negotiate a ceasefire, give their thoughts on the war. The late Bosnian director Zlatko Lavanic and Bosnian filmmaker Daniela Gogic also appear in this program that throws you directly into the deserted streets and horrific sights and sounds of the war in Bosnia.

In this third program on Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War, we look at the health concerns for the people of Bosnia and view SAGA films, including the documentary, Sarajevo Ground Zero II. Humanitarian Fred Cuny and film director Nedzad Begovic speak of the difficulties in finding clean water and other health concerns during wartime. Ivica Puljic, a Sarajevo journalist, and Tony Borden, editor of the Balkan War Report, also comment on life in a time of war. The late Bosnian director Mirza Idrizovic explains his opinion on the strange environment that surrounds him; also the Serb soldier Borislav Herak tells of being sentenced to death by firing squad after confessing to war crimes. Then we hear from French filmmaker Francois Lunel as he talks of survival. The late political activist Susan Sontag and Bosnian poet Abdulah Sidran voice their thoughts and opinions. Pulitzer Prize winner and NY Times' foreign correspondent John Burns ends this unique 'inside-out' coverage of the war by describing it as 'part news, part horror movie.'

In the Summer of 1995, Bosnian Serbs massacred thousands of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, which the United Nations had declared a safe haven and had promised to protect. Over 3,000 people were murdered in this act of genocide by Bosnian Serbs, and over 7,000 people remain missing from that town. Secret UN correspondence and intercepted Bosnian Serb communications suggest that the UN may have played an important role in allowing this massacre to occur. Through use of excerpts from the investigative film Safe Haven, this two-part program documents the annihilation of Srebrenica. 'Part 1' of the program reveals the policy and strategy conflicts among high level UN officials that ultimately led to a weakened defense of Bosnian refugees and vulnerability of UN peacekeeping forces. It suggests ties between the Bosnian Serbs and the Yugoslavian military and shows how UN officials were coerced into eliminating air power as a military option for the protection of Srebrenica.

The Assembly of Kosovo declared its country's independence as a Republic in February of 2008; however, Serbia continues to claim sovereignty over Kosovo, which keeps this Balkan country a potential hot spot for conflict. As Chapter One of this historical documentary points out, this dispute dates back over 600 years to the Battle of Kosovo, when Kosovo was lost to Turkish invaders, yet Serbians see the battle as a symbol of patriotism. The former president of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic, used the anniversary of this important event to arouse nationalism against Kosovo and to accuse its Albanian majority of genocide against the Serbian minority, which eventually led to the Kosovo War, a conflict that did not end until June 1999. Chapter Two focuses on Tajikistan, strategically located north of Afghanistan, where from 1992 to 1997, the country was torn apart by a devastating civil war, killing an estimated 50,000 people. Here we get perspectives of this Central Asian country from Barnett R. Rubin, formerly the Director of the Ctr. for the Study of Central Asia at Columbia University, and today is a Senior Fellow at NYU's Ctr. on Intl. Cooperation and the author of The Fragmentation of Afghanistan; also from Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, formerly at the School of IPA at Columbia University, and today is the Director of the CERI Program for Peace and Human Security at L'Institut d' Etudes Politiques in Paris.

For over one hundred years, people of Chechnya have been fighting for self determination from the Russian State. In 1944, Stalin destroyed Chechnya and expelled its residents to central Russia. In 1991, a reborn Chechnya proclaimed its independence from Russia, but President Yeltsin viewed this as a threat to Russian sovereignty, and in spite of self-proclaimed peace plans, he ordered the military to intervene. A Chechnyan militia of farmers and craftsman began a campaign of resistance and sabotage in an effort to combat the Russian military. This program profiles the six-year war in Chechnya, with footage documenting war crimes, genocide, and other human rights violations. A video diary from Thomas Goltz documents the Russian Army's annihilation of the Chechnyan town of Samashki where thousands of civilians perished at the hands of 'drunken, doped-up soldiers.' The program also includes a profile of human rights hero, Fred Cuny, who mysteriously disappeared in Chechnya while attempting to come to the aid of the Chechnyan people.

Although the campaign of violence in Northern Ireland between Nationalists, the Catholic minority, and the Unionists, predominantly Protestants, was never declared a civil war, it was popularly know as "The Troubles"; sadly, this bitter conflict claimed over 3,000 lives over 25 years, which ended in 1998 with the signing of the Belfast Agreement, also called "the Good Friday Agreement" or the G.F.A. This historical documentary introduces viewers to a significant number of individuals who were involved in this battle for Civil Rights. Laura Flanders reports on the discord; also we meet Marie Mulholland, a community organizer; Gerry Campbell, a Ford Motor Company employee; John Keanie, the Derry town clerk; Eamonn McCann, a Civil Rights activists; Andrew Tyndall, a media analyst, who, today, is editor of the Tyndall Report; also Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, the youngest woman ever elected to the British parliament. She wrote the book, The Price of My Soul, which publicized discrimination against Roman Catholics in her country. Worth noting is, in 2003, she was barred from entering the United States and deported by the State Department, which declared her "a serious threat to the security of the U.S."

One of the great tragedies of war is that its deleterious effects continue long after the final battles have been fought. The U.S. currently serves as refuge for over 400,000 victims of torture from as many as 112 countries that continue the practice of torturing prisoners of war. Many of the countless victims of torture have only recently received help in repairing their lives. Also the Women's Media Center of Cambodia reported last year that there were over eight million uncleared anti-personnel mines in their country, and over 100 million uncleared mines worldwide. Human rights activists have stepped up their efforts to deal with these tragedies on both an individual and global scale. Over 100 torture-rehabilitation centers have been opened in various countries; and in Cambodia, national media groups as well as international organizations have sponsored treatment programs for landmine victims. Activists urgently call for international bans on torture and on the production and deployment of landmines. In this program, viewers visit two torture rehabilitation centers; also they witness the continuing horrific effects of landmines on innocent Cambodians. The program ends with a discussion of the value of computers and the Internet in facilitating a truly global human rights movement.

After World War II, the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund were established to 'ensure peace and prosperity' throughout the world in the face of the threat of communism. With the fall of the Soviet Union, critics of these organizations argue that they are ill-equipped to deal with human rights issues and the 'new world order.' This classic program examines the need for these organizations to adapt to changing political, economic, and social conditions in the world, and to begin dealing with complex, unforeseen issues such as ethnic conflict, internal disorder, and the breakdown of state institutions. It focuses on the impact of World Bank economic policies imposed on developing countries in the name of global economic reform, suggesting that the interests of foreign investors might be at odds with those of the indigenous populations. Featured here are Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State; authors David Rieff (Slaughterhouse) and Ian Williams (The UN for Beginners); Mike Jendrecejzyk of Human Rights Watch; Patricia Armstrong, Lawyer's Committee for Human Rights; Shahid Javed Burki, a professional economist who served at the World Bank for 25 years, Lawrence Summers, former Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and a member of Barack Obama's Transition Economic Advisory Board; and, lastly, an exclusive interview with Alvaro De Soto, former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations.
