If you have ever wanted to understand the war in former Yugoslavia, one of the greatest documentaries ever made is now on YouTube. The Death of Yugoslavia is made by my favourite documentary makers Brook Lapping. Their outstanding work includes The Second Russian Revolution and The Fifty Years War. They seem to have the astonishing knack of getting all the major players to speak freely to camera, so that the viewer is placed at the heart of the drama. Watching their programmes are amongst the most memorable and important experiences of my life. Highly recommended.
