Facing the Monster

Overview

At the beginning of the 1990s the state of Yugoslavia collapsed, and resistance to the madness of war was strongest in Belgrade, where anti-war actions and movements opposing the Serbian nationalist regime brought together intellectuals, artists, and anti-regime individuals—most notably in a nonpartisan group called the Belgrade Circle. This is a documentary film that portrays the struggle to keep alive the fight for truth and dignity by bravely confronting the crimes committed in the name of the nation.
