Return to Bosnia:
Now a historian living in Australia, Mitric returns to Bosnia, reuniting with his family and friends, and meeting those working to rebuild a nation borne of bitter ethnic and religious divisions.
From his childhood home in one of the most besieged cities in modern history, to a former concentration camp and to mass graves, Mitric confronts the incomprehensible: How could your neighbours turn into killers? And how can you rebuild lives and communities devastated by violence?
