Accurate, Powerful, Personal December 4, 2001
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Having perosnally witnessed the aftermath of the conflict in the Balkans, and knowing that it could (and will) flare up again in the future, I found this story to be accurate, powerful and truly personal in places. If the viewer wants to experience the real meaning of frustration, then despair, then horror....buy and watch.

Serving 12 mnths in Bosnia myself with the UN as a soldier, I must truly say that watching this film brought me back. I watched in awe and it brought tears to my eyes to once again relive the months we spent there. The director manages to create the moods and feelings and frustrations that were so common for all of the soldiers serving with the UN. It also portrais the restlessness and feeling of unfinished buisiness that so many felt after returning home. This movie is truly one that most people who have former UN personell in their family or among friends should see. Maybe then they`ll understand. To the makers of this film: You have earned a soldiers respect.

This is truly among the most remarkable films I have seen in years. It's important for the content alone--historical detail and topics of foreign policy are broached with both honesty and sensitivity. Not unlike 'All Quiet On the Western Front,' however, it presents these themes on a devastatingly human, even poetic, level. The characters are not merely characters; each represents a side of human nature which makes this film meaningful and accessible to nearly everyone. As an historian, I'm impressed, but as a person, I'm changed for having seen this film. Definitely not to be missed.
Excellent and Realistic Drama January 14, 2001

This is an excellent war drama. Set in 1994 in Bosnia. It shows the efforts of British peacekeepers under the flag of the UN trying to keep some sort of peace. It shows the tragedy ofthe cold blooded murder of countless innocents and how war can effect and change the people involed.
A moving film December 9, 2000

This film directed by Peter Kosminsky will give you greater respect of the forces which did such a good job over in the war torn country of bosnia. A credit to the BBC and such exellent acting.
