BOSNIA the Media Doesn't Show You 🇧🇦

Travel Documentary Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo & Republika Srpska. 🇧🇦 Experience the BALKANS LIKE NEVER BEFORE on this journey through Bosnia and Herzegovina – Europe's most divided country with an uncertain future, where different ethnic groups (Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs) live in a fragile coexistence. Join us as we discover this beautiful country of contrasts, nestled in the heart of the Balkans, bordered by Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro. As we travel across the divided country, from the Federation to the Republika Srpska, we encounter a tapestry of cultures, religions and breathtaking natural beauty, though still scarred by the Bosnian war of the 1990s. Our journey begins in Sarajevo, a city where East meets West with a unique blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav heritage. Wander through the bustling Baščaršija bazaar, inhale the aroma of Bosnian coffee and marvel at the contrast of the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and the Sacred Heart Cathedral side by side. Stand on the Latin Bridge, where a single shot ignited World War I, and explore the haunting remnants of the 1984 Winter Olympics. We also travel through Bosnia's Republic of Srpska, capturing the beauty of Serb villages and landscapes. Come with us to Pale, a symbol of Republika Srpska's Serb identity. Located just a few kilometers from Sarajevo, the town is a stark contrast to the predominantly Muslim character of the capital. Serbian flags line the streets, while the Bosnian and Herzegovinian flag is absent, highlighting the country's divided identity. In Srebrenica, we witness the Srebrenica Memorial and Cemetery, a reminder of the 1995 genocide, a chapter Bosnia will never forget and which shook the world!

Our travels are about uncovering the REAL & UNSCRIPTED LIFE in each destination, with all its sunny & shady sides!
