    powerful and affecting. as a father i get affected more by child abuse. so difficult viewing but worthwhile. tweaking those feelings of guilt for not caring enough about the '14th worst place in the world'.

    a film that quietly went into movie theatres and then quickly disappeared which is a shame. It is one of the ebst films of 1997 about a group of reporters doing a story in sarajevo during their civil war and one reporter's quest to save a young girl to find a better life out of t...( read more)he terrible exsistence of her home life.

    with wonderful perofrmances from marisa tomei, woody harrelson and the great stephen dillane

    do not miss it.
