This Is America is a series of intimate ten-minute documentaries exploring the lives of everyday Americans. Through quiet conversations and unguarded moments, the series reveals how ordinary lives carry extraordinary stories—stories that shape who we are and the country we share.
Alone at home, while his family is on vacation, a man discovers that the strange occurrences in his house are tied to children who disappeared on Walnut Street in 1987.
The documentary follows stories of war, survival, and the human capacity to endure life’s most extreme circumstances, told from diverse perspectives. It brings together individuals of Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian backgrounds whose experiences, though shaped by different sides of the conflict, reveal shared themes that lie at the heart of the film. Central to the narrative is the experience of victimhood, the resilience of the human spirit in the face of brutality, and the enduring demand for accountability and justice. To this day, many of those responsible for the suffering inflicted upon these individuals and their families have never been held accountable. Among the stories presented are those of Croatian soldiers and guardsmen who were captured by the Yugoslav Army and subjected to months of torture and humiliation in detention camps in Serbia during the war. Decades later, no one has been prosecuted for the crimes committed in these camps.
Documentary aims to present the unbiased perspective on the armed conflicts in Ex-Yugoslavia and Post-War context in the Western Balkans, stressing the importance of culture of remembrance, by sharing the victims narratives.
