Underground

08:10:00

We know so little about the history of our nations. We fail to remember the most important facts from our own history, not to mention the affairs of great empires and building economies. We witness the history happening in front of our eyes to tell our children what it was like to live on the verge of two centuries, but is that enough? Americans are ignorant about European history, Europeans selectively pursue their interests, focusing either on medieval ages, colonialism, war or current affairs. Small countries lose the battle of textbooks' space with big revolutions. Nationalism prevails: Brexit is now a fact, and those more to the West consider themselves better than those in the East.
Do you know anything about Yugoslavia? Can you squeeze almost a hundred of years of political events into one film? Would you like to experience a different (but not worse) perspective and learn something that picked up on events which happened in the country few can even point to the map of the world? Underground. Some nations' revolutions can occur even in the basement.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
