FRONTLINE FOOTBALL: BOSNIA VS SERBIA PART 1 OF 3

Politics and sports scarcely coincide but when they do, it can be dangerous. This documentary details two politically unstable nations that meet on the soccer field during the World Cup.

This documentary proves without a doubt that nationalism still poses a grave threat to the stability in Bosnia. Unfortunately, people in the region fail to realize that Serb nationalism is the greatest impediment to the reconciliation between Serbs and Muslims. Only when Serb nationalism is eradicated will we have a decent chance at creating long term stability in Bosnia.

In the run-up to the World Cup, this is a documentary journey for presenter Ben Anderson as he uncovers the personal stories and difficult sporting challenges facing the Bosnian and Serbian teams & their fans - all of whom have a historic position in their countries' national consciousness.
