Kosovo: The Black Hole of Europe
Point du Jour International
Is there a light at the end of the Balkan conflict’s long, dark tunnel? Or does Kosovo represent an endgame for the hatred between ethnic Serbians and Albanians? This program searches for answers as it travels through the bleak, war-torn region, presenting the expertise of politicians, activists, peacekeepers, and ordinary citizens. With animated maps that clarify focal points in the struggle over Kosovo, the film sheds light on regional history, the role of UNMIK, and the extreme poverty afflicting half of the population. On-the-ground perspective comes from beleaguered civilians, UN Special Envoy Albert Rohan, Kosovo PM Agim Ceku, KFOR North Commander Gen. Marc Duquesne, and many others.
