Warriors
Part One: Britain 1992. Within hours of arriving at the army base in Vitez, James, Loughrey, Sochanik, and Feeley receive their initial briefings. They are told their job is to support the UN and assist with the distribution of humanitarian aid in Bosnia. The soldiers begin their tour with confidence - there seems little to complain of except the freezing conditions. But they are soon drawn into the conflict, and witness Muslim women and children being forced to flee their homes before they are looted and burned. Part Two: The war continues relentlessly. The soldiers' feelings of frustration, outrage and distress intensify when they discover that appalling atrocities have been perpetrated against local villagers they have befriended. They find it increasingly hard to accept that they cannot intervene. The men return home. Months later some find relief relating their experience to the war crime tribunals, others by returning to Bosnia as aid agency volunteers. But James, Loughrey, Sochanik, and Feeley are haunted by the hell they have witnessed.
