Back to Bosnia Trailers

Filmmaker Sabina Vajraca documents her Bosnian Muslim family's return to their home of Banja Luka, Bosnia, to recover their stolen belongings many years after being forced to flee to the United States. In Bosnia, they witness the devastation of the city, visit war crimes sites, and confront the family that has been living in their former apartment -- with all their furnishings -- for a decade.

Wonderful character development!

Am I Missing Something?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This movie vividly shows the uphill battle that refugees face when trying to return to Bosnia, or even just to reclaim their properties. It shows not only the problems that Bosniak (Bosnian Muslims) face, but also the problems of Bosnian Serb refugees that moved to other parts of Bosnia. In addition it takes viewers to the sites of some of the worst atrocities in the second half of the 20th century and the investigations of these crimes. Seeing all this, you finally realize the importance of prosecuting the war criminals which still live in this area and continue to intimidate returnees. This movie should be seen by anyone interested in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina and anyone trying to understand the difficulties of returning refugees.
