Ethnically Clean

About This Movie

Ethnically Clean is an unsettling documentary that delves into the dark heart of ethnic violence through the lens of Dušan Boljević’s chilling actions in Bilje. The film's raw, unadorned style captures the grim atmosphere of a community torn apart, with a pacing that mirrors the tension leading up to the trial of Boljević for the murder of 16 people. It’s not just about the brutal facts; it’s about the heavy silence and the haunting aftermath that follows such atrocities. The practical effects are minimalist, relying on stark visuals and real testimonies that make the horror feel all the more immediate. This film is distinctive in its unflinching exploration of humanity's capacity for violence, making it a heavy but necessary watch for anyone interested in the complexities of war and its consequences.
