Serbian Epics is a mordant portrait of Dr. Radovan Karadjic, poet, psychiatrist, and leader of the Bosnian Serbs, who is filmed visiting his soldiers and his mother, supervising a meeting of his war cabinet as it decides which bits of Bosnia to carve up next, and pontificating about Serbia's jingoistic musical heritage.
