Piece Description
More than a decade has gone by since a peace agreement was reached at Dayton, Ohio to end Bosnia's bitter war. The BBC's Allan Little reported on the conflict for much of that time. Ten years on he returned to the country to find out whether the people have been able to put those years of violence behind them. During the war Allan Little visited the Serb gun positions high on a mountain ridge above Sarajevo. Immediately it was very clear to him how easy it was to pick off targets in the streets bellow. Allan spent three years in this city at the height of the siege. Ten years on he goes back to try to make sense of what happened there. This was a war which, from the very beginning, saw civilians as both acceptable and legitimate targets. Allan speaks again to the people - a doctor, a musician, the head of an NGO for people dealing with disabilities - of a country, which shortly after gaining its independence was embroiled in one of the bloodiest conflicts in the 20th century.

Review of Return to Sarajevo, Part One
Return to Sarajevo bears all of the best characteristics of BBC documentaries, excellent writing, solid journalism and gravitas. It also avoids some of the BBC's pitfalls. Instead of quick and sloppy cuts with bizarrely short clips, this has good production values and with clips long enough to allow the interviewees to emerge in three dimensions. This a short and solid piece perfect for any weekend magazine. Bravo. Can't wait for part 2.
