Black Ravens

Želimir Gvardiol

Ravens are telling the story of Dušan Vuković, the first person under the regime of Slobodan Milošević who dared return the medal for bravery that he had been given after his son’s death in Kosovo during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The film is an emotional condemnation of the ex president; it is full of love, hate and vengeance. It has won a dozen awards at international festivals.
