Flashback time! March 18, 2007

I was "lucky enough" to serve as a volunteer in Bosnia during and after the war,from april 1995 till june 1996 as a UN/ NATO peacekeeper.(All Norwegians and Swedes were volunteers). The story being told in the film was so real to me, that when I saw it in 2003 I had flashbacks for the first, and hopefully last, time since my time in Bosnia. I could feel the humidity and feel the taste of the air in central Bosnia. To me this film shows a realistic image of what happened in Bosnia. Just don't forget that there were saints and sinners on all sides in the conflict!!

I was one of the soldiers interviewed for my accounts of the conflict and even 15 years later i still suffer from the reminder of this un peace keeping force, top marks to the film crew and the director for making an honest drama for the world to see, what the troops had to endure during their tour of duty and remain unaffected is beyond belive i hope we never have another conflict like this again. to my comrades that we lost on our tour your gone but never forgotten
A must see!! November 28, 2003

WOW!!! What an amazing film. I first watched this when it was aired on the BBC a few years ago and I have been meaning to buy it for a long time. brI have not for many years seen a film that evokes such an emotive reaction, you will experience grief, anger, sympathy guilt watching this highly emotive and accurate portrayal of our British troops as UN peace keepers in Bosnia. brLets hope this film will remain a stark reminder of the horrific war crimes and ethnic cleansing that happened during that time and no doubt similar atrocities which still happen all over the world to this day. How easy it is to forget.brCongratulations to the beeb for portraying this difficult story with such humility as it deserves. A must, must, must buy!!

Warriors is a hard hitting drama from the BBC. I first watched it 4 years ago, and watching again recently still left me in awe. The soldiers are human and humane, but hamstrung by the UN regulations. br /Unable to help people directly due to fears of 'ethnic cleansing' they leave people to die at the hands of monsters who used to be their neighbours. br /The drama also shows the effects of the conflict on their lives when they return to Britain. br /A number of outstanding performances lend realism to the production. None more so than Matthew MacFadyen, who plays the scouser Pvt James, who deals with what he experiences in a simple, humane way. He is left baffled by the authorities unwillingness or inability to do the right thing. His passage from a joker to a hurt human being is the pivot of the drama; he experiences the very worst of all the shocking (and graphic) misfortunes that befall the crew. The things that they see and cannot affect cause anguish to those at ground level. br / br /You must watch this.

Having perosnally witnessed the aftermath of the conflict in the Balkans, and knowing that it could (and will) flare up again in the future, I found this story to be accurate, powerful and truly personal in places. If the viewer wants to experience the real meaning of frustration, then despair, then horror....buy and watch.
