Remembering Srebenica: Quo Vadis, Aida?

Ards and North Down Borough Council are hosting the film ‘Remembering Srebenica: Quo Vadis, Aida?’ at the Web Theatre located in Newtownards.

This is an intimate and powerful drama focused on one of the most shameful moments of recent European history.

Bosnia, 11 July 1995. Aida is a translator for the UN when the Serbian army takes over the small town of Srebenica. Can she possibly do anything to help the inhabitants? Get her own family into safety? Rescue at least one of her sons? With the sensational Jasna Duricic in the lead role, director Jasmila Zbanic has captured the harrowing events of the genocide in Srebenica with compelling immediacy.

Doors open for the event at 7.00pm and screening begins at 7.30pm.
