LOOKING FOR DAYTON
August 2020, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia, 2020 (55 min.)
Peace agreements are critical in ending intense human suffering. Yet they are negotiated far from where people live. This film centers on 3 regular guys who came of age during the siege of Sarajevo from 1992-95. Together with their local and foreign friends, the trio hatches a plan to go to the US for the 20th anniversary of the Dayton agreement, to ask the people involved what they were thinking - then and now.. After they come back life gets in the way, but as the 25-year anniversary comes closer and the world takes unexpected turns, they all realize they need to finish this project.
Valery Perry has worked in the Western Balkans since the late 1990s, conducting research and working for a variety of international organizations and NGOs on topics including good governance, corruption and extremism.
