Yugoslavia: The Avoidable War was co-produced by George Bogdanich and German
TV producer Martin Lettmayer.
TORONTO - The documentary traces how crucial mistakes by the
West, particularly Germany and the US led to the violent break-up of
Yugoslavia in 1991, culminating in the devastating NATO bombing campaign of
1999.
"Yugoslavia: The Avoidable War" traces the role of Western intelligence
agencies in arming separatist groups in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo and
reveals how Western governments supported different sides in an ethnic
conflict while portraying themselves as peacemakers. Most compelling are the
candid statements of the decision-makers themselves, including former EC
Mediator Lord Peter Carrington, former US Secretaries of State James Baker
and Lawrence Eagleburger, as well as Germany's former foreign minister, Hans
Dietrich Genscher, UN Commanders Lewis MacKenzie and Sir Michael Rose,
former Newsweek military correspondent Col. David Hackworth, author Susan
Woodward, former Nuremberg prosecutor Walter Rockler, historian Nora
Beloff, Canadian diplomat James Bissett, author Scott Taylor and many other
participants and observers.
The LA Weekly called the film "truly accomplished," adding: "The numerous
strategic missteps by the West and the endless political doublespeak are
carefully detailed. The tragedy of the situation seems to multiply
before your eyes as the film clearly proves that so much of the bloodshed
could have easily been prevented."
