Documentary Title: Investigating War Crimes and Justice in the Yugoslav Wars

Former war crimes investigator Vladimir Dzuro, who worked for the ICTY in the 1990s, has returned to the Balkans to investigate whether justice was ever delivered for the atrocities committed during the conflict. Through the documentary film “The Investigator” by Viktor Portel, Dzuro reflects on his two biggest cases in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he collected evidence against war criminals and hunted perpetrators of ethnic cleansing.
Dzuro’s journey back to the locations of his investigations seeks to answer whether the tribunal made a lasting impact on the region and if international justice can prevail when national courts fail to prosecute war criminals. The film captures his personal reflections and interactions with locals who survived the brutalities of the war.
The documentary sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals seeking justice for war crimes and the lingering effects of the conflict on the Balkan region. Dzuro’s experiences highlight the complexities of holding perpetrators accountable and the importance of never forgetting the atrocities committed during the war.
Through his investigation, Dzuro seeks to bring closure to the victims and survivors, while also raising awareness about the ongoing struggles for justice in the Balkans. “The Investigator” offers a powerful insight into the impact of war crimes trials and the long road to reconciliation in post-conflict societies.
