Ottawa premiere of Cheers to Sarajevo (dir. Ashleigh Harvey, Johannesburg), followed by a Q&A period.
At the dawn of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the early 1990s, a South African photo journalist records a soon-to-be-taboo love affair between a Bosnian Serb man and a Bosnian Muslim woman. What begins as a story of love and friendship becomes a complicated tale of patriotism, conflict of allegiance, and rape used as a weapon of war. However, the play also demonstrates the strength people muster to resist hatred.
