Return to Sarajevo
It’s been just over a decade since the Dayton Peace Accord brought an end to war in the Balkans. The BBC’s Allan Little returned to Sarajevo last fall, where he lived during the fighting. He visited people he spoke with ten years ago, to see how - and if - they’ve put the war behind them. These documentaries were recently awarded the prestigious Sony award in the UK, and the Radio Award by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.
PART 1




In 1995, BBC reporter Allan Little and producer Peter Burdin produced an award-winning documentary series about some of those who'd survived the war in Bosnia. Ten years later, they went back to try to make sense of what happened there. This special rebroadcast of Return to Sarajevo originally aired on The Changing World in December, 2005.
PART 2






During the Balkans conflict, some of the most vicious fighting took place in the town of Mostar. More than 30,000 Muslims were forced out of their homes by Croat soldiers. The BBC’s Peter Burdin and Allan Little went to Mostar in 1995 to meet the survivors of a nine month-long siege there. They met two remarkable children who had lived through the war and were presenting a weekly radio show for other children of the siege of Mostar. In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Peter and Allan return to Mostar ten years later to try and find what happened to those two remarkable young boys.
