Contents Summary
This documentary provides an in-depth profile of Radovan Karadzic, a psychiatrist, poet, and the Bosnian Serb leader in the Bosnian war that erupted in April, 1992. By including local Bosnian Serb commanders, religious leaders, and ordinary people, this film highlights the origins and character of Serb nationalism, deeply rooted in the history and religion of the people. The views of the Christian Orthodox Church and the possible role of Serbian Monarch Prince Tomislav in the conflict are both explored. The film features Karadzic's mother; General Ratko Mladic, commander of the Bosnian Serb Army; Biljana Plavsic; Momcilo Krajisnik; and Eduard Limonov, a Russian writer visiting Karadzic. Among the footage shown are scenes of Karadzic visiting Bosnian Serb soldiers positioned in the hills above Sarajevo, as the soldiers fire on the city.
