lou D @RT75297216 6d Leftist trash propaganda See more 09/14/2014 "They [NATO] hit [bombed] the cigarette factory in Nisu three times. And it ended up being purchased by Phillip Morris. Well, if I walk into a supermarket with a hammer and start smashing stuff, and then say 'look, I'll pay you a pittance for the remains', I'm a viking or a vandal. [....] Obviously Phillip Morris had an issue with the cigarette factory in Nisu. It was one of their main competitors in the European market." "Almost the entire banking system in Kosovo was handed over to Germany's Commerzbank A.G." American/NATO and German/EU imperialism/monopoly capitalism. See more 03/11/2014 Excellent film, documenting the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. Really worth watching on the subject. See more 06/12/2013 I have always been interested in the conflicts that occurred in the former Yugoslavia, even though this is claimed to be a documentary, It is only one sided and blatantly bias. See more 08/22/2012 An interesting try to show the role of the "International community" in the breakup of ex Yugoslavia. Probably there is some truth in it (economic interest, military lobby, NATO, etc.), but the documentary is far-stretched in explaining historic facts from within ex Yugoslavia. Causality between most of the events is misinterpreted and even though the movie points out the power of propaganda in conflicts, its intention and the way it was produced is not far from propaganda. A poor try of allegedly independent author and other individuals participating to present the answer to "why it happened". See more 03/12/2012 A well made documentary on fall of the former Yugoslavia. Made me very upset. See more Read all reviews
