We recently added Neither Here Nor There to the DBRL collection. We showed this film at Center Aisle Cinema back in March 2011, but we did not have the DVD available at the library until now. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
The personal journey of the aftermath of the Bosnian War with interwoven stories of the Selimovic family from Srebrenica who resettled in Columbia, Missouri after the fall of the former UN “safe area” that resulted in genocide. Ten years later, the family re-visits the July 1995 massacre of more than 8,000 Bosnians, considered the worst single act of genocide in Europe since the end of the Second World War … Traces the complexities of starting over in a new place when ties to the past remain unbreakable.
