There was a time when the people of Sarajevo thought they would never see the city again from the hills. Above them, the enemy snipers bombarded them for three winters and four summers: they survived under siege for more than 1400 days.
They were not alone- the international forces came and went and the television cameras were constantly there. The residents of one street in the Bosnian capital featured every night between 1993 and 1995 on Sarajevo: A Street Under Siege, a two-minute running story shown by several European broadcasters.
The film-makers of this award-winning series have returned to Hadjuk Velkova Street to catch up with the people who had gone through the television experience, capturing the hopes and dreams of Cefika, Nino, Jasmina, Haris and others.
What did you see in Sarajevo? asks questions of the role of television as an intermediary between you, the distant spectators of the war, and the real people. You felt powerless but sometimes indignant enough, and they, the real victims, wanted something from you, but what?
