Storyline:

The documentary tells the story of Dzemil Hodzic and his extraordinary project “Sniper Alley” which collects the images of world-famous war photojournalists from the period of the siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1996. On May 3, 1995, Dzemil and his brother Amel were playing outside when a sniper started shooting at them. Amel died at the age of 16 in her mother’s arms. From that moment Dzemil’s childhood was inevitably interrupted. Over the years, Dzemil created a titanic enterprise that involved the world’s greatest photojournalists who had documented the siege of Sarajevo, portraying many children, including Amel. With his project, Dzemil went much further and soon “Sniper Alley” became a treasure of the community. The story of Dzemil is the heart of the documentary around which, the stories of incredible human beings articulate, each one in its direction like many branches of a tree. Men and women who have chosen to stand on the right side of history without regard to ethnicity and political ideology. Women became the flowers of resistance. Art, cinema, music and culture as spiritual weapons against war and annihilation. We shine a spotlight on the current context of Bosnia and its unresolved issues. Finally, we focus on possible solutions to ensure that what has already happened never happens again. “Sniper Alley To My Brother” is dedicated to Amel Hodziz who loved to draw and dreamed of becoming an artist and to all the children who despite living the horror of war, continue to dream of a better world.
