Welcome To Sarajevo Page #3

out of sight.

'Everyone must know we are dying.

'So...tell them.

'Keep on telling them

until they will move us.'

'If it is possible

to treat children there,

'near to their families, with

people who speak their language

'and in relatively

familiar surroundings,

'then that is the best way.'

(# Bobby McFerrin:

"Don't Worry, Be Happy")

# Here's a little song I wrote

# You might want

to sing it note for note

# Don't worry

# Be happy... #

God, I've never seen

such clean- looking people.

# In every life we have some trouble

# But when you worry,

you make it double

# Don't worry

# Be happy #

Orphanages and hospitals

are being shelled daily.

Will you evacuate

the children and the sick?

We are here to consider

a range of options.

I know it's difficult but we

have to keep our perspective.

We deal with 13 countries

in the world

which are WORSE than Sarajevo.

Sir, just out of curiosity,

what are those other 13 places?

Are we slidin' up or down that scale?

'Emira has been here

since she was a baby.

'Now she's so frightened,

she can't sleep at night.'

'Sead's mother was killed

in a mortar attack.

'Zaned is from a village

near Sarajevo.

'His father and two older brothers

'were taken prisoner

by Serb irregulars,

'the feared Chetniks.

'His mother was shot by a sniper

whilst queuing for water.'

Got a permission letter

from Radovan Karadjic

so we can get behind Serb lines.

It can't

be much of a story, then.

Anyway, we've got a story.

and nobody's paying any attention.

We've done that story.

We've STARTED that story.

They're still there.

As long as the UN's here

I'll keep those kids on screen.

Same message - "Get me out."

That's not news. That's a campaign.

I don't care.

I'm gonna get those kids out.

What's the problem?

Big guns, little children,

evil men - great television.

- If it works.

- Good night.

- Won't listen, will he?

- Oh, dear!

Since the war,

the orphanage has taken in

not only babies

but also older children,

many of whom have witnessed

terrible events

as well as being separated

from their families.

'One day my mum went to work

'and was told she couldn't

work there any more

'because she was a Muslim.

'Then it was announced

that all Muslims had to leave.

'There was shelling,

all sorts of things.

'There were dead people around.

'I've got nothing to say about it.

'It was terrible.'

'Where my house is.

I'd like to go back there.'

Yours, yeah?

Hello. Yours, yeah?

She ask if this

is where you come from.

Ah! Yes. Yes.

It's changed a bit since then.

She want to get out of Sarajevo.

Your film would help

to get us out of here?

Yes. I hope so.

She wants a promise.
