The film addresses the Siege of Sarajevo twenty years later through a walk taken by 10 different characters. As the camera goes around on the streets of Sarajevo, we get to witness the signs of the war. When Serbians were busy preparing for the war they were planning to start, Bosnians were having pro-peace protests on the streets. As the assaults intensified, Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina declared war in June 20, 1992. Thousands of people died during the subsequent war which lasted three and a half years. The war made headlines around the globe due to the atrocities committed against the people of Bosnia. However, the epic victory gained by handmade guns against the fourth largest army in Europe was ignored. Sarajevo March is the story of victory, not atrocity.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
