A comparison of two representations of the Bosnian conflict

Both the docudrama, Warriors, and the News report shown on the 23rd April 1993 are structured to tell the story of the Bosnian conflict. They have similar intentions to inform the audience of the crisis and show the results of the ethnic cleansing together with the divide between the Muslims, Serbs and Croats. Warriors directed by Peter Kominski is a fictionalised representation of the aftermath of the ethnic cleansing experienced due to the conflict in Bosnia. …

…they are convinced that the Croats are the only ones who create destruction. Warriors is a film about the changing face of soldiering and about what it takes to keep the peace in an unsafe world. It is a haunting story of devastating humanity, but also one of astonishing bravery, love and compassion. I do not believe that one can watch this series and remain untouched by the harrowing and life changing experiences of soldiery.
