Srebrenica: A Cry from the Grave

Srebrenica: A Cry from the Grave retells the story of the Srebrenica massacre in the summer of 1995, in which more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces. Opening with pre-war footage of the once-idyllic town of Srebrenica, the documentary combines first-hand survivor accounts with narrated testimonies from peacekeepers and government officials to construct an hour-by-hour picture of the events that enabled the massacre to unfold.

The massacre was carried out by members of the Army of Republika Srpska under the command of General Ratko Mladić, as part of a campaign to purge the area of Bosniak males. It took place during the final year of the Bosnian War and is widely regarded as the worst massacre in Europe since the Second World War. The atrocity was later formally recognised as genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
