The Death of Yugoslavia (1995)
TV Show
First aired
Six episodes on the break-up of Yugoslavia, with access that still astonishes. Producer Norma Percy's team interviewed most of the main players, including Slobodan Milošević, Franjo Tuđman, Alija Izetbegović and Radovan Karadžić, and set their words against archive footage that had never been seen before. Their accounts sit side by side, so you watch the competing justifications for yourself. The interviews were later used by the war crimes tribunal in prosecutions, and the series won the 1996 BAFTA for best factual series. It tells the story of the collapse, not the aftermath.
