Debris of War                     
First broadcast: February 1994 on WTN



The war in the former Yugoslavia has already had a terrible toll: in hundreds of thousands of dead and missing; for millions of others-uprooting and displacement. Humanitarian and aid groups are just starting to assess and deal with the psychological damage this war has exacted from its survivors, many of whom have witnessed their families massacred, or were victims of ethnic cleansing or rape.

This documentary looks at the shattered lives of some of these
refugees, and some of the first programs set up to deal with the trauma of war.
