Once Brothers

This is a movie that reveals the terrible aspects of civil war. Once "brothers" in the successful Yugoslavian national basket team, Divac (serbian) and Petrovich (croatian) became alienated as soon as the Balkan war started. The story starts with the great success of the Yugoslavian basket team who seemed to have no limits in how far they could take the game of basketball. They were one of the few teams in the world that could really challenge even the "dreamteam" of the United States. A flag incident after a successful game were blown totally out of proportions, and led to the end of a long and deep friendship, that tragically would never have the chance to recover, even after the war. Athletes are only common people that act spontaneously as they are used to. When their actions are used for political purposes the outcome sometimes can be horrific! This is a really good documentary, and also a historical tale for all basketball-lovers!
