"Bosna !", like Sarajevo, Gorazde, Maglaj, Bihac and Prjedor. "Bosna !", like an homage to a Bosnia-Herzegovina which for two years has been dismembered by the Great Serbia's henchmen, and sacrified by the nations. "Bosna !" like an inquest about this monstruous - an enigmatic - abandonment. "Bosna !", like a heroic nation, nearly alone, that prefers to risk dying on its feet at the price of its blood than the certitude of living on its knees - and "Bosna !", like a combat film, alongside these men, these women, who, by defending their country, defend and illustrate our own values. The research started some two years ago, during our first trip to Sarajevo. The shooting of the film started in Bosnia, in September 93 ; and started up again, in Bosnia still, in December and then January 94 ; it finally ended in Paris, in march. Will Europe die at Sarajevo ? This film, among the thousands of other gestures of solidarity from around the world - to help before it is too late, to conjure the disaster."
