Next week, Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave will be speaking on a panel at Columbia University with Damir Arsenijevic, Fred Harrison, Jasmin Mujnovic and Carlo Nero about Bosnia Rising–a new film centered on the February 2014 protests in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Redgrave, who produced the film, first came to Bosnia with Harvey Keitel for UNICEF in 1993, and many times more during the siege of Sarajevo and after the Dayton Agreement. She was also in Belgrade, in refugee camps in Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, and many times in Kosovo, before and after the Liberation. Carlo Nero made a documentary in 1995 of the concert/conference Vanessa produced in New York, hoping to communicate the need to stop the siege and send funds for UNICEF to provide computers for a school in Sarajevo.
