The Making of the Revolution
Preceded by short:
Hostage: The Bachar Tapes.
Otpor is the Serbian term for resistance, and it is also the name of a nonviolent opposition youth group that played a seminal role in Milosevic's defeat at the polls in September 2000. A fast–paced, high–intensity video chronicle, The Making of the Revolution documents the period beginning immediately prior to Serbia's 2000 elections up through Milosevic's final resignation in early October. An inside look at the numerous twenty–something activists who were the driving force behind the high voter turnout and then the massive demonstrations protesting Milosevic's planned second round of elections, it provides an inspiring account of impassioned grassroots political activism and change.
Hostage: The Bachar Tapes (Walid Ra'ad, Lebanon, 2000). Taking a different approach to the representation of politics and the politics of representation, Walid Ra'ad's Hostage: The Bachar Tapes (English Version) Tapes # 17 & #31 explores the political ramifications of imagining the 'Western Hostage Crisis' through the tapes and testimony of Souheil Bachar, an 'erased' Lebanese hostage who shared a cell with five American captives.-IL (17 mins, Color, Video, From Video Data Bank)
