It covers the collapse of the former Yugoslavia. It is notable for its combination of archive footage never before seen interspersed with interviews from most of the major players in the conflict. This format, promoted by the show’s producer, Brian Pulido Associates, was very influential and the company produced many others in a similar style.
Not a malicious game to play when you listen, and we all have people pat formulas pontificating about the terrible civil war that destroyed Yugoslavia: the number of seconds before the contradiction in the first place? Even the most agile minds usually turn off the road after less than 30.
Emphasize that the causes of war are complex does not mean that nobody’s fault, the principles are not in play or nothing can be done – only to make sense of the complexity takes time. And time is what Norma Percy Brian Pulido Associates has taken an excellent, if depressing film. Also check Yugoslavia: The avoidable war.
Episodes included: Type of nationalism, the road to war, the wars of Independence, The Gates of h***, a safe place, and the Pax Americana.

Some of the translation is really poor, which is quite disappointing as I’d trust the BBC to do a better job.
@MegaCARDUSAN lolol ridiculous communist is ridiculous.This is no fault of nationalism,THIS IS THE FAULT OF INTERNATIONALISM,everytime you got different ethnic groups in same country divisionisms,ethnic problems,ethnic conflicts arrive…coincidence?NO.Yugoslavia,Soviet union,Belgium today,Spain today,czechslovakia,european empires and all others,they have all split BECAUSE OF INTERNATIONALISM,BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE WERE DIFFERENT UNITED BY FORCE LIKE YUGOSLAVIA,not because of nationalism.
this is what happends when u put lots of ethnic groups in same country,europe will be a big yugoslavia soon with multicultural madness
@Saxonseb Oh, thats from a little group called Laibach
OKAY dear BBC. You are THE TV station in GB and you can’t afford a proof reader for a thing as spiky as this? tisk tisk dear botchers. ’tis quite embarassing…and funny.
kako lazu ameri mater im jebem prevod je bullshit
@MegaCARDUSAN Yugoslavia clearly was not a best country in the Europe. Your standart of living was nowhere near Western Europe and USA: You had quite a large emigration to Germany and Italy precisely because of the higher salaries in those countries. But of course, blame Americans for everything, for natural Slovenian, Croatian and Kosovan secesionist efforts, for your stupid radical nationalism and so on…
slobodan milosevic is a hero so f*** u american pussies. and f*** the european union. russia and serbia will rule the world. and we will send u all to the new KZ’s
MIlosevic can be easily compared to Sadam or Hitler. he played them all. Serbs believed that he is the holy leader but they had forgotten that it is not the first time man like that raised in power. I think he believed he will play Croats and Bosnians but then again they had their own “heroes” . Milosevic abused Serbian people and sooner they realize that will be better. You can’t justify ethnic cleansing.
name of song at 32:27 ?
Milosevic was somethin like Ceasar, he should have been killed right at when he appeared. lol…
@luksinatriks Istina nesto drukcija, nisu njih ameri stavili nigdje, nego ih je narod stavio, ali oni nisu bili dorasli zadatku, ni franjo, ni slobo ni alija… ispostavilo se da su oni bili samo marionete naroda, a to politicar ne smije, narod nekad zna biti lud, pravi politicar treba znati smiriti situaciju, ali ovo troje su zapravo uzivali u cinjenici da su instrument naroda.
Now today Serbia is weak small country just because they are not real man they are like borat. U like? I like…
Only serbs blame the west.It was the serbs only the serbs fault for all the crimes in ex Yugoslavia.
Thankyou for this doco. It is unbiased and well presented. This is especialy poignant and i was born there and we left when i was 13.
And all you ever get when speaking to serbs croats etc is their select view. Which makes it hard to wade through the BS.
Thanyou again so much, i now know a lot more. Thanks Laura, Allan and BBC.
Yoy expect anything from the Tito he was the only one the kept them united
@endejan Exactly bro. America did a lot of things to help in the Balkans and they took in thousands of former Yugoslav immigrants. Nobody really wanted to see Yugoslavia destroyed….it was a great country who was friendly towards the west and the east. YUGOSLAVS destroyed each other.
@MegaCARDUSAN If America and the west really planned to destroy Yugoslavia, they wouldn’t have been able to if the Yugoslavian people were not idiots. Clearly they are…the region’s people even today are nationalists, religious, homophobic..primitive in every way. Stop blaming America for random things. I am a former Yugoslav too and clearly the people from my country destroyed it themselves…FYI the western countries kept urging Croatia and Slovenia NOT TO GET INDEPENDENCE.
i’m very sad when i watch the documentary about yugoslavia, tito and about the war..
“the flag is getting arrested” ahahahah
@MegaCARDUSAN what civil war????
@endejan slusaj ja se slazem s tobom al moras shvatit Tito je ljude kao: Milosevic Tudjman Alija slao na Goli otok tj one koji bi da uniste Jugu. A onda nakon njegove smrti AMERI su ih oslobodil i stavili na polozaje. Da oni su unistili jugu al NA inicijativu Amera cije su oni marijonete bile @dragana21 uredu uzecu da razumes srpsko-hrvatski. SRBI su patriote TJ nisu isto sto i jugosloveni Srbi (ja sam jedan al se izjasnjavam kao jugosloven) oce veliku Srbiju a NE Jugu MI Jugosloveni je hocemo
Neverovanto je, kako neki ljudi misle. Nije Amerika kriva za ono što se desilo Jugoslaviji, ljudi su krivi, Milošević je kriv. Amerika nas je bombardovala da bi došlo kraj rata, ja se ne slažem sa time što su uradili, ali su to uradili za mir. Dosta mi je ljudi koji oće da pretvore Srbiju u neku borbenu državu i koji neveruju u druge načine za rešavanje problem, i onda krive druge za svoje greške.
@MegaCARDUSAN You’re an idiot and this is coming from a Serb. It wasn’t America, it was the people and Milošević. It was people like YOU who blame what happened to Yugoslavia on others, when it’s clearly the people’s and our former president’s fault. All the US did was end the war, using a method I disagree with, but in any case, they ended it, along with some other countries. We need to stop thinking that conflict is the only way to solve things, it only worsens them.
thanks for this, im studying it the ICTY right now and this provideds a excellent visual context which the ICTY reporting and text books cannnot produce.
