SYNOPSIS:

Behind the scene of air strikes against Yugoslavia, Top story of the Globe in the spring 1999, there is an inside drama in Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

CEO of RTS makes decisions as if he is NATO ally not the head of State Broadcasting

Company in charge of company policy and employees in particular.

Life of other employees is only a step on the large scale of his promotion.

Aleksandar, journalist in News Editorial tries to explain CEO that his primary duty is to

protect people in company not to sacrifice their lives due to some vague “Superior Goals”.

Unfortunately, no use doing it. The Top official is sure of himself; he is even insulted by

Aleksandar`s warning that RTS headquarters target. Aleksandar is threatened by

firing, arrest etc…

On other side there is horrible silence. Colleagues, fearful of losing their jobs, do not

support Aleksandar. As usual in war times many of them behave in straightforwardminded

way due to fear or gaining points for promotion.

Small journalist versus CEO; Aleksandar, alone, can not protect employees; forthcoming

tragedy is on the way. Sixteen people, mostly young, were killed on April 23, 1999.

Finally, we could ask ourselves “WAS THERE A SINGLE WAY OUT ” or

“HAVE WE MADE SUPREME EFFORT TO PREVENT FROM TRAGEDY”.

This is the story about people who are ready to do literally anything to keep their

positions and privileges NO MATTER what price OTHER PEOPLE will pay.
