WIDE ANGLE: MEDIA BY MILOSEVIC (TV)
Summary
Jamie Rubin and Daljit Dhaliwal host this documentary series that investigates contemporary global, political, and social issues. In this episode, filmmaker Leslie Woodhead reports on former Yugoslavian ruler Slobodan Milosevic's ongoing trial for war crimes. The program begins by discussing the situation in Yugoslavia under Milosevic, and the wars that eventually led to the country's disintegration. Serbs discuss their feelings on Milosevic's trial, taking place in The Hague, in front of the war crimes tribunal. Some voice support for him and hope to see him set free, thinking his detainment is part of anti-Serb feelings from the rest of the world. The program further explores the issue of whether Milosevic should actually be considered a "war criminal," delving into media coverage of the event. Afterward, ambassador Pierre-Richard Prosper sits down with Dhaliwal to discuss Milosevic's trial and the expected outcome.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
