The Other Side of Everything

War is never something ... at least for me it is something that I do not fully understand. But what does it do with individuals that are really affected by it? You have things to look back to, family members that are lost, things left behind, be it in locked rooms or in your head.

A not really easy watch, but well handled look at the balkan war (I think that is what it's called) - a personalized look into it, with quite the flavor. If you like documentaries about interesting people and their stories, this one is for you. And very well made too.

This documentary gives us a nice overview of Yugoslavia history, mixed with the personal story of a family and its appartment - with a main focus on Srbijanka Turajlic, a human rights and freedom activist that was involved in lot of serbian historical moments.

On top of that - and that is in my opinion the top objective of this movie - it makes you think on how we, you, I would have act - or not. A question that the director of the documentary, Srbijanka's daughter, is forced to face with the come back of nationalism of Serbia. But a question, we all have to face in our times, and answers are not easy ones.

Bravo for the realistic approach of the times of political turmoil in our country sitting on the Balkan's crossroads! Srbijanka is my heroine. Chapeau bas! Mila is excellent director as well. Congrats for both!

Just paying my respect to the director of the such a human work that today we see a few like this.

We as a Iranian especially aren't stranger to this situations. Our parents tell us about revolution and the war after that.

Hope that after about four years more people see this valuable documentary.
