Welcome To Sarajevo

Documentary footage of the horrific acts of 'ethnic cleansing' combines with the verite-styled story of a cohort of journalists torn between passively chronicling the atrocities and actively resisting them in this powerful film. An obsessive British reporter (Stephen Dillane) fights to keep the horrors of war alive in the minds of a public hungry for royal scandal, while an American colleague (Woody Harrelson) uses the conflict as a springboard to personal glory. WELCOME TO SARAJEVO, directed by Michael Winterbottom, was adapted by journalist Michael Nicholson from his memoir NATASHA'S STORY.

      welcome to sarajevo

      Did not really reflect the horror and brutality of what went on in that war. programmes such as the british Warriors drama series did this so much better.

    Capote screenwriter plays murdered journalist

    • 15 Aug 2006

    The furore that Angelina Jolie inspired by gazumping Jennifer Aniston for the part of Mariane Pearl in A Mighty Heart probably obscured the more intriguing issue of who would play the role of the murdered journalist in the adaptation.
