Wars in the former Yugoslavia were among the most brutal in recent history, yet understanding of these events is still vague and detached. PICTURE ME AN ENEMY puts a human face on these conflicts through the stories of two young women from opposite sides of the battle lines.

Although pictured to one another as longtime enemies, Natasa, a Serbo-Croat, and Tahija, a Bosnian-Muslim, speak a common truth about how those in power used religion, ethnicity and nationality to construct the “enemy,” and reach beyond their national identities to address universal questions of conflict, peace and forgiveness. Combining traditional interviews, verite super-8 clips, archival footage and family photos with an eclectic soundtrack, this compelling portrait adds valuable insight to our understanding of war, as well as to recent conflicts in the Balkans.
