Women in Black

1997 · 87 min · ★ 10.0 · Documentary

The “Women in Black” have been protesting against the Serbian regime's war policy in the center of Belgrade for five years - in black clothing, silently and with banners. They support deserters from all former Yugoslav republics, organize aid campaigns for refugees and publish books and their own magazine. The film portrays some of these strong personalities in the form of travel notes, beginning with the last international congress of the “Women in Black” in the summer of 1996 and ending with the large demonstrations in Belgrade in the winter of 1996/97.

Directed by Zoran Solomun · Written by Helga Reidemeister

The armed conflicts of the 1990s not only visibly destroyed the land of the former Yugoslavia, but also left the deepest wounds in the memory of each of its belligerent nations. There are as many different interpretations of that bleak past as there are countries affected. It is therefore hard to expect absolute harmony when, less than two decades since the war ended, a diverse group of veterans gathers at a remote mountain hotel for a therapy session over several days. On the contrary, such a dangerously volatile situation can suddenly ignite by just one thoughtless word, or a seemingly dirty look. That’s because the former soldiers, obstinately holding on to their fundamental masculinity and their prejudices, refusing to expose the inhumanity of the atrocities perpetrated. However, this quietness is just about to be broken and hidden emotions are to be faced.
