People have no idea how epic Sarajevo was in those days and how cynical and ruthless the siege was. They did not lose their humanity and they still refuse to succumb to hatred.
People know very well what was going on in those days. The siege is a consequence. The reason is hundreds of millions of dollars, with the approval of the US Congress, directed in the second half of the 80s to numerous ethnic NGOs in Yugoslavia to incite ethnic hatred. The neoconservatives brazenly and cynically set the people of Yugoslavia at odds by applying the old principle of state power “Divide and rule”. This principle was used by the ancient Romans when they conquered wild tribes in Europe, inciting hostility between tribes.
Spent a week in Mostar, and then a week in Sarajevo a few years ago. I travel a lot. This place is the most inspiring place i've been to. Bosnians are so very kind. They're in my heart forever ❤
Guitar is a good mind instrument. Matt is a excellent player in his role. That's his series. He is able to listen to Irish rock. U2 is natural holy band. Especially, these groups is fingering my soul. She is very in the mood of art.
I have no idea of those circumstances but I know for people all around the world in times of sadness or depression or dark circumstances, music is a place for security and feelings of positivity and would add normalcy.
How wonderful to be in a position to make a positive difference, but for some the good you can do is vote, every vote counts and under the current circumstances your vote is more important than ever. 🇺🇸🏴💙💙💙
The power of art in times of pressure…it’s so important to be reminded of that. Every moment when darkness seems to prevail, there is a light, and this light is what human mind is able to produce when standing up against injustice and violence, including any act of war.
Well said! Just like Music does! In the Music moments of expressing yourself allow us to see the bigger picture into our heart. This voice shines the most and can be like compass that can change our course to make the world a better place.
Bravo for making this. The current government in Serbia denies it committed war crimes in Bosnia and in the former Yugoslavia. I'm glad you are bringing this to light.
I was there my family survived the Sarajevo siege. Thank you for putting us Sarajevo people on the map and telling the world about the horrific things we experienced!
As a Bosnian, I would like to inform everyone that Israel was a direct supporter of the genocide of the Bosnian people. They supported the Serbs with weapons and there is a lot of evidence of this. You also have to name those who took part in it in the background.
George Santos is suing Jimmy Kimmel. 😅 Loved The Martian and look forward to the sequel with Ben. Jupiter ..Europa miners fighting space crime. War is obscene and as Modi said of another era really. 👏
"Plausible reasons have never been lacking for putting off all merely cultural activities until some imminent danger has been averted or some crying injustice put right. But humanity long ago chose to neglect those plausible reasons. They wanted knowledge and beauty now, and would not wait for the suitable moment that never come. Periclean Athens leaves us not only the Parthenon but, significantly, the Funeral Oration. The insects have chosen a different line: they have sought first the material welfare and security of the hive, and presumable they have their reward. Men are different.They propound mathematical theorems in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffold, discuss, the last new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache; it is our nature." C.S. Lewis from 'Learning in War-Time'
U2's work in Bosnia can not compare to the amount of work millions of iPod users had to do to get their forcefully promoted, overrated album off our iPods!
Who cares? Nobody. That’s why. The only folks I know that are so obsessed with sexual preferences of others is maga. You folks are really insecure about your own sexuality
Um he has enough money to never work and buy a small country, he risks his life sometimes taking sides and singing/writing music in an underground station with bombs flying. Personally I dont give a sh what his reasons are the point is he is there doing it for nothing.
This entire project is such BS. I am not referring to the U2 involvement. The footage the producers of this documentary attain is just another capitalistic form of using those stories for their own profits. If this documentary was made to open some eyes of the people, this should've been on PBS or Over-the-Air type of broadcast stations, not in the subscription-based streaming services. Not sure what to think of Matt Damon's involvement in this and if he realizes it's really for profit while exploiting the stories of a war-torn country.
Urgh, Ms Amanpour, where is this "undergound" art community in Ukraine. The whole country is not under siege. Art and music in Kyiv or L'viv or Odesa is wioe out in the open. We have no snipers in the heights shooting at the zookeeper trying to keep the lions alive (one of my favourite BiH memories). There's a huge difference in the cause, scope, and conduct of the war between these two wars... And while this might seem nitpicking to anyone not intimately involved in either event, the whole of Ukraine is not like Avdiivka or Bakhmut. Most people go about their lives supporting the economy and the war effort from a distance. If it was the Russian army besieging Sarajevo, it would have been flattened within six months and 50,000 Russian soldiers would have died in meat-wave assaults. The Serbs (surprising as it might be for some) actually but a value on Serbian lives. Russians, not so much for other Russians; albeit more than how they value human lives in general.
Oh wait, wan't Bono singing in Las Vegas worshiping the Israelis ?! Is there a new movie coming for the palestinians singing while bombs are falling people risking theirs life, or this ones are not important ?!
*) it is great that this movie exists *) it is an irony that Ch.Amanpour praises the move - the woman who did her part of "selling" all sorts of Western medlling in Balkans, who did enormous number of super-biased reports and created many conscious misinformation *) Bono? he is raising his voice against an ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, right ?
Sorry about that buddy boy if I'm not mistaken Hunter was just proven that some weirdo that was probably a republican totally lied about the shenanigans
I did the math. Matt Damon was three when Vietnam War protests ended. If he grew up during them, as he mentioned, he was a very early developer. Even the memory of them was not so great in the 80s.
Yes, let's remember a genocide that happened 30 years ago while ignoring the one that's going on. About a band that specifically is ignoring it; remembers on stage about the horrors of the 7th October while not mentioning the over 10'000 slaughtered children in Gaza. You can make then in 30 years a documentary about it.
MD ripped off people so he HAS to do this. It's a shame his status was still enough to bring in people that mean well. In the end a good cause was served. Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reason...
Earning money on other people’s misery. Hatred deepened as ‘divide et impera’. Nobody wants peace. Money and war bring money and make the world go round. So enough with hypocrisy.
@Mr. Matt, I am sure you read. Please read NYT's best-selling author, Mr. Greg Iles up coming book *SouthernMan*.It would be nice to see you,Mr. Matt is making the movie of this book. I do not know if anyone already has done that. I mean, asked Mr. Iles.

I know am artist in Kiev, Ukraine that runs two theaters. He is a play writer, an actor and singer. He needs help. Please help me help him!
Gaza Bono?
morning Matt
I take it you might be a trumpster
I had no idea that this turned from serious topic about the Bosnian war to a call from Nolan and then a Dunkin Donuts ad. The interview is a mess.

@@vitalsigns2679 yeah he can't write songs then like Billy Joel about his friends being drafted and sent off to 'Nam
Ms Amanpour, Ireland is just the other side of Europe from BiH, not the world.
How come there not a story about Matt & Ben when they were a couple, FACT
Who cares? Nobody. That’s why. The only folks I know that are so obsessed with sexual preferences of others is maga. You folks are really insecure about your own sexuality
Remember when UA-cam videos got Gonzalo Lira killed?
This video is about Matt Damon
Nice
Bono has inserted himself into world politics with his ego.
He's the lead singer of a rock band from 40+ years ago.
Huh
Yup. And still selling out arenas and stadiums to this day.
Um he has enough money to never work and buy a small country, he risks his life sometimes taking sides and singing/writing music in an underground station with bombs flying. Personally I dont give a sh what his reasons are the point is he is there doing it for nothing.
He’s brought money and awareness to many causes. He has a big mouth and uses it. And has sold out 40 nights at the Sphere!

Just a simple question….since there were no people seeking damages; then who does $355M go to?
Put on your debbie sock and ask again, Sybil
You really don’t know what the trial was about. Sheesh.
When it comes to Serbs, if everyone hates you so much maybe you should ask yourselves some questions.

how much do you need to create hatred between friends, Serbs, Bosnians, aman
Absolutely no one wants to hear anything about U2. This isn't charity, it is a desperate plea for continuing relevance by alleged musical artists U2
