Summary: Sidika is a Bosnian Muslim who lives with her family in West Mostar. She writes to her relatives in Sarajevo.
Description: Footage shows Sadika getting ready in the morning and sitting in the Partisan graveyard. She says that her family were refugees for two months after their house was hit by a shell but they returned to the city and now live in a new house in West Mostar. She says that the war became even worse when it turned Croats and Muslims against each other because her friends left the city. The war has left her with an “inexplicable fear”, though she has not been directly threatened, she feels afraid.
She has found that she believes in God, a God that she feels everybody shares.
“If we ourselves don’t want peace, there won’t be peace”, she says, as a young boy is filmed turning to aim his toy gun directly at the camera.
