One World Liberec
A coming-of-age documentary from Bosnia and Herzegovina about three young men chasing an Olympic dream and a chance at a better life.
Mirza, Hamza and Zlatan grew up in post-war Sarajevo. The city that hosted the Winter Olympics in the 1980s is now scarred by bullet holes and surrounded by graves; the future is uncertain for its young people. Yet the three friends have big ambitions. They repair the iconic bobsleigh track themselves and train for the Olympics. In a country riddled with corruption, however, money and energy soon run low. As the graffiti-covered concrete track crumbles, so do some of their dreams. This compelling film conveys both the bitter disillusionment of a young Bosnian generation and its determination to shape its own future.
