Zlata's Diary

In her girl's diary, in her own words, the reflections of the life around her are inscribed day by day.
Suddenly, war breaks out on her doorstep. The most mundane topics then give way to fear, anger, and incomprehension. Zlata's world falls apart. Bombings and snipers sow death; there is no water, electricity, or food...
Zlata mourns her destroyed childhood, but continues to write and bear witness. Today, as the tragic conflicts of former Yugoslavia become entangled in endless negotiations, the voice of this young girl from Sarajevo helps us better understand the suffering and despair of an entire people.
