For those in DC

[Ivo Skoric]

------- Forwarded message follows -------
Dear Friends of CRUCIBLE OF WAR,
It is hard to believe that this coming week marks the tenth
anniversary of the market shelling in Sarajevo which made the war in
Bosnia hit home for many Americans.  The month after marks the fifth
anniversary of the NATO bombardment of Serbia in response to the
humanitarian nightmare of Kosovo.  As our attention has moved on to
other hotspots in the world, there are lessons to be learned from the
experience of the Balkans, as much on a personal level as on policy. 
With this in mind, we would like to invite our friends and colleagues
in Washington DC to join us for a sneak preview screening of our
documentary, CRUCIBLE OF WAR, which looks at how ordinary people
attempt to rebuild their lives after war.

Screening and discussion with director Leon Gerskovic and producer
Erica Ginsberg
