Over the course of a mid-Summer week in July 1995, more than 8,000 men and boys were systematically killed in a small Bosnian town called Srebrenica. Untold Killing tells the little-known story of genocide and ethnic cleansing right in the heart of Europe through the voices of those who survived it. It’s a tale of betrayal, injustice, and what the world’s wilful ignorance towards ethnic persecution leads to.
A co-production from Message Heard and Remembering Srebrenica. Hosted by Aleksandra Bilić.
‘Untold Killing’ marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide.
