Welcome to Sarajevo

(Miramax)

Based upon British war correspondent Michael Nicholson's autobiographical novel Natasha's Story, Michael Winterbottom's Welcome to Sarajevo is a blistering docudrama, as refreshing as it is horrifying. Told through the eyes of Western journalists, the film doesn't concern itself with the details of the Bosnian Serbs' terrorist assault on the city that hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics; instead it's a simple, eloquent, chronicle of Sarajevans' daily struggle to survive.
