A young woman returns to Srebrenica, the town of her birth, to find out more about her father, who was one of the 8,000 Bosnian Muslims massacred there during the Bosnian War, some 30 years earlier.

Once a town with vibrant and integrated communities, Srebrenica was torn apart by racial hatred. During the Bosnian war, it was cut off by Serb forces - its mostly Muslim inhabitants surrounded by a hostile army.

Although the United Nations declared it a 'safe area', an enclave under its protection, it was far from safe when Bosnian Serb troops invaded in July 1995, murdering around 8,000 Muslim men and destroying every trace of their lives: their diaries, photos and letters.

One VHS survived the destruction. A unique document: a four-hour film describing everyday life in the enclave and shot for a single viewer, Alisa, the then nine-year-old daughter of Sejfo, an avid amateur film-maker who had been trapped in Srebrenica until he was amongst those massacred there.

Alisa returns to the town of her birth to trace the footsteps of her father, whose film sends her on a quest for clues about family and belonging, after her life was forever altered by one of modern Europe鈥檚 greatest crimes against humanity.
