Impressive and extremely well done
miraphysiotherapist16 August 2015
Exceptionally well done film by a very passionate, truth searching, young movie maker Boris Malagurski has left all of us speechless. It displays what happened 'behind the scene' and how foreign intervention helped the start and escalation of the war.

The movie is based on plenty of evidence, historical film clips and interviews with experts in the field, but in a very fast paced and an entertaining manner with cynicism and black humor entrenched in the film, which makes many compare Boris's style with that of Michael Moore. It is important to note that Boris had a much harder job to spark interest of Western audience as the topic was not so attractive for most who already had their well set views and preferred not to be critically challenged.

It is remarkable that even though the movie was completed by a very small team and with limited funds, financed mainly from donations of people throughout the world who wanted others to see this yet untold story, it is extremely well done.

Exceptional
strovalic18 September 2016
I lived through the time and place that weight of chains is all about and must say that we waited a long time for someone to get courage and start to fight for the truth.They cant lie to us who lived in Serbia in that time but it is the time for every one outside mu country to see what they have done to us and how its done.Every second of this film is truth and whoever say otherwise i would like to see their proof and not just say so.It is important that people start to challenge the lies with they are been fed and look for the motives of the one who are telling those lies.They ruined one peaceful and happy country for theirs selfish interest,like they do all over the world. BRAVO!WAKE UP PEOPLE!

The truth teller
ramm_girl25 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary movie is really worth watching, it holds your attention the whole time, gives hope for better tomorrow although it shows some facts about neoliberalistic "taming of the world" and mass media role in it. Anyone who considers himself aware of what kind of modern world we live in,should definitely watch this movie,just to see which way mankind is heading to. As the part 1 of this movie, the 2nd part reveals political manipulation at the Balkan that still leads small countries of the former Yugoslavia to social and economic disasters, increasing poverty and hate among citizens of this countries, that used to be one big country with good economy.Governments based on neoliberalism have the same mechanism to break big countries and they repeat the same scenario every time.

I love it! Great documentary about civil war in Yugoslavia.
ajaredic25 August 2015
I love it! Great documentary about civil war in Yugoslavia. If you want to find out what happened in Balkans during the 90ties you must see this. Also the historical background which puts the hole story in the context. The point is that people were mislead and the rulers of Balkan countries were doing this only for the money. people were fighting and rulers were getting richer and richer. And they were fighting on the field and in front of camera but in private they were making deals. It is full of new informations and explanations, tells us who and why started the war and what we can expect in the future. Also great sense of humor. Great job Mr Malagurski!

How to distort facts on politically correct manner ? This documentary can show you how.
projectfortatjana8 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
History revisionism is quite common in today world, where nationalism movements are on rise in popularity. If you would like to be indoctrinated by same manner I recommend to watch Boris Malagurski documentary. This movie is full of "new" and "fresh" points of view on current or modern history of western word. Additionally to people who don't agree with this type of rhetoric, Malagurski documentary have plenty of good examples have to misinterpret fact and how to present it on polite manner to represent ideology that we want to glorify.

Best regards,

Stefan

Not sure why this movie has high ratings despite of negative comments? READ ME!
karlobusa23 December 2019
Not sure why this movie has high ratings despite of negative comments; I am giving it a 1 because the narrator's voice is too obnoxious and his snarky attitude is the least bit flattering to even attempt to sit through a "serious" documentary for two and a half hours. Although it deemed to have good points I was interested in hearing, such as on economy and the overall involvement from the west, the movie is blatantly biased. Even though his overall "thesis" was to present the fall of Yugoslavia, he clearly has his topics mixed up when he switches gears and ultimately tried to "debunk" the Serbian involvement and proclaim innocence in the wars. Thank you Malagurski for teaching us the things we should have known (sarcasm implied), should have stuck to economy and not downplayed the Chetnik atrocities during the war!

political and economical perception and call for protests
NijazBaBs29 April 2021
This is call for protests and conspiracy theory against United States, and economical and political perception of all problems like wars, poverty... This made more clear 1st sequel by admitting that it is just that, and by saying opposite of what I said, that protests are good and recommended, and not dangerous. I hate topic because I don't understand nor like politics or economy and it is tiring and complicated and boring. Also it looks one sided perception or belief. Also I find it impractical. Few good and funny footages, people, truths...but overall very time consuming. Just makes us think bit more and bit differently about everything, especially protests.
