Anatomy of Pain

Focusing on casualties of the 1999 NATO bombing, Anatomy of Pain reviews the events surrounding the destruction of the Serb Radio and Television (RTS) headquarters on April 23rd while 16 employees were still in the building. There were no survivors, and the remains of two individuals have never been found. Through interviews with grief-stricken family members and coworkers, Baljak slowly unravels what appears to be a deliberate conspiracy by Serb authorities to use the employees as a "human shield." The deaths were later exploited by state-run news outlets in their propaganda campaign against NATO. After the film was completed, the victims' families petitioned the authorities for an investigation. Evidence for a trial is currently being gathered.
