After War and Terror: Is Reconciliation Possible?

Three decades after the Bosnian War, ethnic resentment between Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats still splits Bosnia and Herzegovina. This DW film follows young peace activists who erect signs at former torture camps and bring veterans and former prisoners from opposing sides back to those places to talk. In Spain, it turns to the aftermath of ETA's terrorism campaign and the state's own violent responses, where 'restorative conversations' now take place behind closed doors between survivors and perpetrators. The film introduces a survivor of ETA's deadliest attack and the sister of a man suspected of ETA sympathies who was killed by a Spanish secret police unit, both now taking part in this process. Interviews with participants on both sides, footage of memorial sites, and scenes from these facilitated encounters build a picture of what reconciliation actually requires: not forgetting, but sitting across from someone once considered an enemy and hearing their account. The film treats both conflicts as unfinished business, not resolved history.
