ON THIS DAY: In 1991, civil war began in the former Yugoslavia as ethnic and nationalist tensions, previously dampened by the Soviet Union, came to a head between the newly independent republics of Croatia and Slovenia. A group of Western journalists get an insider's perspective on the war in the 1997 film WELCOME TO SARAJEVO, which combines hard-hitting drama with black comedy to explore the horrors of the conflict.
