I thought everything about this documentary was well done. It's an incredible story that I had never heard about. I loved everything about it!
Scream for Me Sarajevo

Documentary / Music / War
Plot summary
In 1994, Sarajevo was a city under siege. Mortars and rocket propelled grenades rained onto the city, killing indiscriminately, every day. Amongst the madness, two United Nations personnel: a British military officer and another Brit working for the UN Fire Department, decided it would be fun to persuade a global rock star, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, to come and play a gig to the population. Scream for Me Sarajevo brings that story, in all its madness, to the big screen. A story of musicians who risked their lives to play a gig to people who risked their lives to live them.

Loved it!
Luck vs liberty. The right to party etc. It's all here.
Super deep event, the stuff of life itself on a thin thread between lustful, thoughtful , honest and death by partisan feuding. I was so happy to see this culture exposé which revels in the fortune to stand without shame for a better life at all times. There is a bit of luck here and there, sometimes too little but not to be dismissed and better, sometimes magic to be embraced.
Defiant madness
In 1994, at the height of the siege of Sarejevo, a British Army officier conceived and executed a plan to have Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden, come and play a concert. What followed was a harrowing but rewarding experience for the band, and a rare outburst of joy for those who attended. I enjoyed this documentary, primarily because it doesn't overly focus on the supposed heroism of the band. Rather it conveys quite why their presence meant so much to their audience, and the real story told is the underlying tale of how a civilised European country was torn apart long after many of us had assumed that kind of thing just didn't happen here. There's something engagingly, defiantly daft about putting on a heavy metal show amid such tragedy; and this film nicely balances these two sides as it reconstructs the tale.
