| Film ThreatMatthew RoeThere is a uniquely fascinating story here, told through a significantly creative lens, unique to those who had lived and created during the Bosnian War. |
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonIt's a story that emphasises the sudden shocking reality of war ("the normal life you had was gone," recalls one local), and the value of recognition and respite. |
| GuardianCath ClarkeAn interesting if minor footnote in the history of both the Bosnian war and heavy metal. |
| User ReviewEdin MA very refreshing viewing, definitely worth seeing .. |
| User ReviewJens SFascinating documentary about Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson performing in war-ridden Sarajevo at the height of the 1990s siege. Both musicians and audience look back on those days and what this gig meant to everyone involved. While there is only little footage left of the actual concert, the war scenes from back then are nothing for the faint-hearted, Everyone involved coming back together 20 years later makes for a deeply satisfying and touching finale. |
