- Summary:
- "For six months in 1994, François Crémieux served as a French UN peacekeeper near the Bosnian town of Bihać. He never saw combat, barely even experienced physical discomfort--but he was left deeply shaken by the experience. In this film director Chris Marker keeps the focus squarely on Crémieux, a young veteran who recounts his experiences rapid-fire, as though he's been desperate to share them since returning home. The story he tells is one of infantry indifferent to peacekeeping ideals, training by racist officers, missions that range from occasionally useful to completely pointless, and rules of engagement that benefited only the aggressors.
