Entitled “Mothers of Srebrenica”, the documentary is produced by Iran’s Experimental and Documentary Film Center (EDFC).
Borji had five travels to Bosnia since three years ago and he had conducted several interviews with mothers of the victims.
The Srebrenica Massacre, also known as the Srebrenica Genocide, refers to the July 1995 killing of more than 8,000 Bosnian men and boys, as well as the ethnic cleansing of another 25,000–30,000 refugees, in and around the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War.
The Association of Citizens Mothers of Srebrenica annually holds a ceremony in commemoration of the martyrs of the massacre.
“In the documentary, I highlight the role of the United Nations in this calamity since it had declared the place a “safe area” under UN protection before the occurrence of the massacre,” Borji previously mentioned in a press release.
Borji previously made “Seashores of Tears and Olives”, a documentary centered upon the 33-day resistance by Lebanon against the Israeli attacks.
Reza Borji has taken many photos from the contemporary wars in Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Karabakh, and Ghana. He also has a collection of many outstanding photos from the Iraqi imposed war against Iran during the years 1980-1988.
