Summary: More than a decade after a peace agreement was reached to end Bosnia's bitter war, the BBC's Allan Little returns to Sarajevo to find out if its people have been able to put those years of violence behind them.
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.
