BACK
THE DNA OF DIGNITY

 

SYNOPSIS:

 

The Balkan War of the nineties resulted in the disappearance of thousands of people; their remains possibly missing forever.

​

Survivors and those left behind pin their hopes on excavations and scientific work.  Forensic anthropologists and archaeologists work with great concentration.  A person takes shape bone by bone.

​

Will they also get an identity?  Will relatives finally receive closure and a grave to anchor their remembrance and grief?
