Part One
DOCUMENTARY: LOGBOOK SERBISTAN "
“More and more people are trying to reach the European Union through the 'Balkan route'
The documentary Logbook Serbistan of Želimir Zilnik shows the hard reality of surviving for refugees in Serbia since Hungary has closed its borders.
The film focuses on the conflicting interests of the people stranded in Serbia. They want nothing more than to travel to the European Union, but also need to adapt to local realities. With his sharp documentary allows Žilnik the viewer to identify with the daily struggles.”
