Synopsis

The Unidentified is a feature-length documentary which reveals who were the commanders responsible for some of the most brutal attacks of the Kosovo war. It takes viewers back to spring 1999, when NATO forces started bombing Serbia in an attempt to end Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic’s repression of the country’s Albanian minority in its province of Kosovo. In order to achieve his long-desired goal of an ethnically-cleansed Serbia, Milosevic united his forces, both army and police, to wage a war which he believed was just. The ethnically-mixed town of Peja suffered the most. More than 120 Kosovo Albanian civilians were killed in the course of a few days, while their bodies were transported to mass graves in Serbia. Sixteen years after the crimes were committed, those who commanded the attacks and cover up operations live peacefully in the Serbian capital, and despite the evidence that exists, they have not been prosecuted.
