Italian writer and screenwriter Tonino Guerra's journey to discover Yugoslavia, from the big cities to the heart of its countryside, between a past of traditions and ancient rituals and a future still to be built.

The Death of Yugoslavia is a BAFTA-award winning BBC documentary series first broadcast in 1995. It covers the collapse of the former Yugoslavia. It is notable in its combination of never-before-seen archive footage interspersed with interviews of most of the main players in the conflict, including Slobodan Milošević, the then President of Serbia. Norma Percy won the 1996 BAFTA TV Award for 'Best Factual Series' for the documentary. However, it has been argued that it presents a potentially slightly biased point-of-view; for instance during the trial of Milošević before the ICTY in The Hague, Judge Bonomy called the nature of much of the commentary "tendentious" (partisan).
Christiane Amanpour narrates this chronicle of the devastating war in the former Yugoslavia, detailing how, in 1987, Serbian President Ivan Stambolic sent his deputy, Slobodan Milosevic, to calm an ethnic conflict in the region of Kosovo, only to find himself ousted from power when Milosevic fanned the flames of Serbian nationalism. Included: how party leaders in Croatia and Slovenia tried to resist Milosevic's attempts to take control of the Yugoslav government. Originally broadcast in 1995.
