CALLING THE GHOSTS

Mandy Jacobson, Karmen Jelincic

USA - Croatia 1996 63 16mm Colour

Film description

An intimate story of two women caught in a war where rape was as much an everyday weapon as bullets and bombs. Jadranka Cigelj and Nustreta Sivac, childhood friends and legal professionals, lived the lives of «ordinary modern women» in Bosnia-Hercegovina, until one day their neighbours became their tormentors. Calling the Ghosts chronicles the transformation of these women as their personal struggle for survival develops into a larger fight for justice. Putting rape into the international lexicon of war crimes becomes their mission. Due to their brave efforts, their very torturers now stand indicted by the International War Crimes Tribunal.

i There are no scheduled screenings.
