Scream for Me Sarajevo
Discussion
Thoroughly recommend this if you have an interest in any of Rock, War, recent European history, humanity or Bruce Dickinson!
Official website says "Scream for Me Sarajevo is the astonishing story of the most unlikely of rock concerts, performed by Bruce Dickinson and his band Skunkworks in 1994. Risking their lives, they were smuggled into the besieged city to play a concert for its citizens amidst the chaos of war."
I watched it last night, thinking it might be "a good gig"... but it's the well-told story of how it happened, by the lads (as they were) who made it happen. It's a tough watch at times (be warned - does contain brief but graphic images of the 'civil' war) but a brutally honest and compelling recounting of events that will clearly stay with them forever. Some of the worst, but mostly the best of humanity.
On BBC4 a few days ago and is on iPlayer now.
