Reunion - Ten Years After the War

In 1999, Serbian military units and Albanian guerillas fought against one another. Serbs and Albanians led separate lives. As their country was moving towards war, a group of courageous students from both camps met, to finally actually see their “enemies” in person for once. Director Jon Haukeland was at this meeting and treated it in his documentary “Before the Bombs” (1999). Two weeks after the summit the NATO bombardments began. Now the students from back then meet each other again and ask themselves often painful questions.
