The Weight of Chains

This documentary examines the breakup of Yugoslavia and argues that the United States, NATO, and the European Union played a major role in the conflict and its aftermath. Through archival footage, interviews, and personal stories, it explores political intervention, media narratives, economic pressures, and acts of solidarity across ethnic lines.

My take

You may like this if you enjoy politically challenging documentaries such as The Soviet Story or Capitalism: A Love Story; Not for you if you want a neutral, consensus-based account of the Yugoslav wars.
