Special Screening of Fog of Srebrenica Just 23 short years ago, in a part of Europe a three hour flight away, more than 8,000 boys and men were killed in a slaughter that was to become known as the Srebrenica genocide. It took less than a week to rob so many of their lives; and to rob so many of their loved ones of their life as they knew it. We remember the genocide because of the victims and their families, because it is right to remember, because it was in Europe during most of our lifetimes, and because it could happen again – it is happening again. At 6pm on Sunday 8th July come along to the Crescent Arts Centre to watch the documentary film Fog of Srebrenica and take part in a short panel discussion afterwards about the genocide, dealing with the past and building a better future in Bosnia and here.

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. We are delighted to announce our theme to mark this anniversary is Acts of Courage. 

 

When we commemorate genocide, we usually focus on the very darkest aspects of human nature. We ask ourselves why. Why do people hate? Why do people rape? Why do people kill? We should also ask: How do people survive? How do people hold hope? How do people resist?

These questions are critical to the prevention of future genocides. Acts of courage in times of war help us to understand how communities may resist regimes that seek to spread fear and division. They also sow the seeds of possibility for peace and reconciliation. Join us to hear survivors testify first-hand, and to honour the memory of the victims of the genocide that took place in Bosnia-Herzegovina, 23 years ago.
