BRATUNAC – With the screening of the documentary film “Children of Bradina”, the Documentary Film Review in Bratunac ended, which gathered the audience over the course of five evenings and presented six films thematically related to the region and the people who live in it.
The film “Children of Bradina” by Stevan Salatić deals with the suffering of Serbs in Bradina and crimes against the Serbian population in Bradina and the surrounding villages in the municipality of Konjic in May 1992.
In the documentary, the survivors testify, who were children at the time of the war, and who today talk about imprisonment, torture and the loss of their family members. Witnesses point out that numerous sufferings and severe traumas remained permanently etched in their memories.
Testimonies of survivors and messages to younger people
Survivors who today live in different parts of Republika Srpska and Serbia say that it is important to talk about these events, so that younger generations know what kind of suffering their loved ones went through.
They emphasize that these topics must be openly discussed in order to preserve the memory of the victims and the historical circumstances of the war.
Five evenings, six films and a good attendance
Six documentaries were shown as part of the show, and the organizers point out that there was good attendance and interest from the audience.
The organizer of the show was the House of Culture in Bratunac, in whose cinema hall the films were shown.
The project manager of this institution, Radovan Petković, told Srna that the goal of the review was to show thematic documentaries related to Bratunac or the people and families living in this place, including the families from Bradina who moved to this region after the Dayton Agreement and continued to live there.
