Road to Nowhere, The (Yugoslavia)

• 1994 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
• (Blood and Brotherhood series, Part 6) They might be described as a throwback to the Middle Ages, but this current crop of warlords constitute the big figures of the new world order. Examines these people, whose power derives from the barrel of a gun, and the rhetoric with which they justify themselves and motivate one another: the rhetoric of nationalism. The story of Yugoslavia is the story of the country's first highway, the Highway of Brotherhood and Unity; today it is a symbol of everything that has gone wrong in the country, a road impassable for both Serb and Croat--a road to nowhere.
