There’s Still Someone in the Woods

The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina officially ended with the signing or the Dayton Peace Agreement twenty-five years ago, in November 1995. It is calculated that between 25,000 and 50,000 women were raped during the conflict when systematic rape was used as a weapon of war. It was judged to be a war crime and a crime against humanity for the first time in History in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

The documentary There’s Still Someone in the Woods which will be premiered in Barcelona in this session presents reflections on the war on the basis of testimonies by women who survived the rapes and by sons and daughters born of these forced relationships. Following the screening of the film its directors, the journalist Teresa Turiera-Puigbò and the producer Erol Ileri will speak about it with Alma Mašić, a specialist in development and transitional justice in Western Balkans. The event will be moderated by the journalist and director of the TV3 programme Sense Ficció Monsterrat Armengou.

There Is Still Someone in the Woods is a project of Culture and Conflict whose painstaking journalistic research and stage work have also resulted in a play and a photographic exhibition. The documentary has been also broadcast on January 12th on the TV3 programme Sense Ficció.
