Friendly Fire — Back to the Balkans

Friendly Fire — Back to the Balkans

Emerigo Laccetti, colonel of the italian Red Cross that worked in Kosovo between 1992 and 1999. Returning from one of these missions he contracted a non Hodgkin Lymphoma; after 12 cycles of chemotherapy and 20 cycles of radiotherapy he's now having a normal life even though he cannot consider himself totally recovered.

A series of landscape images from Bosnia and Kosovo, selected on the basis of the areas bombed by the NATO during the 1995 and 1999 Balkan wars, and by following the narration of four Italian veterans affected by the Balkan syndrome who have visited those places.
