DEPTH TWO

“No body, no crime”? A truck full of bodies is fished from the Danube, mass graves are discovered – evidence of a massacre in Kosovo that was meant to vanish for all time. Ognjen Glavonić reconstructs the events, which fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Accompanied by nearly meditative landscape shots, statements from victims, witnesses and perpetrators at the war crimes tribunal in The Hague make the murderous distinction between “us” and “them” painfully clear and the trauma of the survivors begins to gain a human face. Space is made for the eloquent power of the words spoken and the audience is charged with the responsibility to form their own picture of what occurred.
