"...The filmmaker also talks with a U.N. representative, a member of the Serbian parliament, experts on ethnic cleansing, and ordinary Kosovans who recount their experiences fighting and defending themselves against the Serbs (one mother remains too traumatized to speak). The destruction of property and disruption of lives would force many into Albania and Montenegro, leaving Kosovo a broken territory inhabited by people suffering from physical and emotional scars. DVD extras include deleted scenes and the short documentary, In a Word, ‘Democracy’, which looks at the treatment of Macedonian Albanians in the wake of independence."

"It is a solid piece of work...an excellent job with interviews and with weaving together the larger story of the war and the struggle for independence. Dr. Selimi is particularly impressive but the range of interviews is itself broad and comprehensive."
Professor Bill Nichols: American Historian and Documentary Theorist

The executive director spent a lot of time in Kosovo
