“From my childhood in socialist Yugoslavia, I remember little, but I know that my family was not especially well-off, and still happy,” recalls the director of the film “The Weight of Chains 2” Boris Malagurski. But that soon changed. Western aggression and the isolation of Yugoslavia from 1992 to 2000 dealt a severe blow to its economy, and the so-called assistance that the West began to provide it since 2000, in many ways only aggravated the situation. Why? In his new film, Boris Malagurski talks about how Yugoslavia got into the trap of American loans and what it led to.

The Weight of Chains is a Canadian documentary film that takes a critical look at the role that the US, NATO and the EU played in the tragic breakup of a once peaceful and prosperous European state - Yugoslavia. The film, bursting with rare stock footage never before seen by Western audiences, is a creative first-hand look at why the West intervened in the Yugoslav conflict, with an impressive roster of interviews with academics, diplomats, media personalities and ordinary citizens of the former Yugoslav republics. This film also presents positive stories from the Yugoslav wars - people helping each other regardless of their ethnic background, stories of bravery and self-sacrifice. close

This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old. Bowling for Columbine is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence. close
