In Finding Andy, host and journalist Jake Warren wants to reunite Loti with the man who saved him, and gain closure for both of them. Finding… is a Message Heard production.

The story of the last European genocide starts with the Bosnian War in 1992. Tens of thousands of Bosnian Muslims fleeing from persecution found their way to Srebrenica, a town where they were meant to be protected. And before genocide was carried out in that very town in 1995, the Muslims survived a siege that lasted for years.

In Season 2 of Untold Killing, we explore the story of Prijedor - one Bosnian municipality’s descent from a peaceful, multi-ethnic society into a collection of burning towns and torture-filled concentration camps. Over six episodes, this season will cover the camps’ political, international, and ideological implications, the personal stories of the Bosniaks held there, and the long-lasting effects on the camp survivors and their families, who now live scattered across the world.

In the late summer of 1992, a group of British journalists travelled to the lions’ den of the Bosnian War to investigate claims of brutal concentration camps filled with thousands of civilians. What they found there, during the course of just one day, confirmed their worst fears. And showed the world the true nature of a war that was just getting started.

Before thousands of non-Serbs ended up detained in concentration camps, their town and their local community became so divided that friends and neighbours came to stand on opposing sides of a brutal ethnic conflict. This disintegration took just a couple of years - thanks to propaganda, fearmongering and a well-organised coup.

The detainees' lives changed completely from one day to another after being taken to the concentration camp. Now revolving around torture, killings and everpresent fear, they had to adjust to a new kind of existence in the long hot days of a Bosnian summer.

With each passing day, the conditions in the Bosnian Serb-run concentration camps get more brutal and less human. In July 1992, detainees die and live at the whim of their guards who come up with ever more twisted ways of torturing and killing their former neighbours and friends.

After months of languishing in the concentration camps with no hope of salvation, everything changes for the detainees in just one day. On the 5th of August 1992, they are visited by foreign journalists whose reporting finally ends their imprisonment.
