BELGRADE FOLLIES

The film captures images of the four months of demonstrations by citizens and students in Belgrade, against the regime of Slobodan Milosevic, following the rigged elections of November 17th, 1996. Hundreds of people found themselves united in the struggle for freedom and democracy. We are presented with scenes of the work being done at Radio B92, the only independent medium in Serbia; the counter-demonstrations by Milosevic supporters; the cordon surrounding the Belgrade students as they resisted the police for eight days in one of the city's busiest streets; the violence of those in authority against the demonstrators on February 2nd, 1997; people «gone mad».
