A dramatization of the events of the Srebrenica massacre, during which Serbian troops sent 8,372 Bosniak men and boys to death and mass expelled another 25,000–30,000 Bosniak civilians in July 1995 led by Serbian convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić.
Bosnia, July 1995. Aida is a translator for the UN in the small town of Srebrenica. When the Serbian army takes over the town, her family is among the thousands of citizens looking for shelter in the UN camp. As an insider to the negotiations Aida has access to crucial information that she needs to interpret. What is at the horizon for her family and people – rescue or death? Which move should she take?
Six months after the genocide in Srebrenica and after the Peace Treaty was signed, the women still don’t know the whereabouts of their sons. Out of desperation, they organize protests and private investigations. Despite being emotionally fragile, often under-informed and lacking education, these women embody an incredible strength that overcomes all political and bureaucratic barriers. They demand their sons, the truth, and justice, and nothing can stand in their way.
