在这一集中，我通过电影《怎么了，艾达？》、战地纪实漫画《安全区戈拉日代》、日记《兹拉塔的日记》、回忆录《波斯尼亚清单》四部作品，来谈谈我所了解到的波斯尼亚战争，以及不同媒介对于战争刻画的异同。

I challenge myself in this episode to talk about a topic that I have long been interested in: the history of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Some six years ago, I was shocked to learn there was such a big war happening in Europe that I knew nothing about. Films like Quo Vadis Aida (06:07) and comic reportage Safe Area Gorazde (25:05) allow me to learn a little bit more about the odd turn of history and the sufferings of the civilians.
Each of the four works I have covered here tells a story of a different place in Bosnia. Quo Vadis, Aida? looks at the Srebrenica Massacre. I argue that the film is smart in keeping 'a false glimmer' for the audience when its highly capable and brave heroine attempts to save her family from being killed by their neighbours-turned-tormentors. I point out the chilling line that happen in the execution room may be a comment on the status quo of European cinema, which had been remained silent on its dark recent past.
Then I review the first two books I have read about BiH. Zlata's Diary (20:57) follows Zlata's everyday life in the war-time Sarajevo, while The Bosnia List (22:18) records Kenan's puzzling childhood in Brcko.
Safe Area Gorazde is an excellent comic book that does not shy away from the traumatic experience of the town people of the then-enclave Gorazde.
