In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces overran the UN-declared safe area of Srebrenica and killed an estimated 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys, the worst massacre in Europe since the Second World War. This film reconstructs the killings hour by hour using video footage shot by people who were there on the ground as the town fell, cut against testimony from survivors and relatives of the dead. Investigators from the UN-sponsored tribunal at The Hague and the UN special prosecutor explain how the case was built and what evidence tied specific commanders to the killing sites. The film does not end at the verdicts; survivors describe what justice has and has not given them, and the film's own position is bleak, that no conviction can restore what was lost. It has since been screened at the UN and entered as evidence in a war crimes trial at The Hague, an unusual afterlife for a documentary.
