Sniper Alley

Driving through the so-called Sniper Alley, people in the car sing a song with the lyrics THE SUN RISES EVERYWHERE, EVERY COUNTRY IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT LIKE MY BOSNIA, THERE'S NO BETTER PLACE IN THE WORLD. Driving along this section, dubbed Sniper Alley due to the danger from snipers, was extremely risky. Besides snipers, numerous anti-tank obstacles were placed on the street. To avoid the threat of snipers, drivers had to have the skills of Formula One drivers. A large number of people perished on this stretch. This footage shows a group of people on their way to Vesna & Senad's wedding. Used in the film DO YOU REMEMBER SARAJEVO (2001) by Sead Kreševljaković, Nihad Kreševljaković and Nedim Alikadić.
