What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The film frames depleted uranium use, NATO bombing of chemical and oil facilities, air pollution, and climate change as interconnected consequences of militarized and neoliberal systems.
Interviews and historical analysis portray Bosnia, Yugoslavia, and Serbia as sites of experimentation and political pressure by larger military and economic powers.
The narration and expert interviews build toward the claim that neoliberalism drives environmental destruction and that systemic change is necessary for survival.
Boris Malagurski combines narration with interviews featuring Noam Chomsky, Jeffrey Sachs, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, Serbian representatives, and military and medical experts.
