'MIRAD A BOY FROM BOSNIA' (2 x 40 minutes Drama Series)
Series produced by Christopher TEMPLETON
An achingly passionate two part drama based on the true story of the boy soldier Mirad, fighting on both sides in the Bosnia war.
It is hard to grasp the events in the former Yugoslavia but MIRAD, A BOY FROM BOSNIA, presented in two epic parts, enables us to come to terms with it. As far as such appalling stories of disintegration into war, this drama takes you to the heart of all civil wars. An aching, high-tension drama based on the true story of Mirad and his gruelling experiences as the boy who became a soldier after witnessing the execution of his father and his sister and separation from his mother. Although a war drama, this is not a bang, bang radio drama feature but a deeply moving account of how individuals can be caught up in events beyond their control. A strong cast of actors including Frances de la Tour and Ronald Pickup.
