In 1994 Sarajevo was a city under siege. Mortars and rocket propelled grenades rained onto the city, killing indiscriminately, ever day. Amongst the madness, two United Nations personnel: a British military officer and another Brit working for the UN Fire Department, decided it would be fun to persuade a global rock star, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, to come and play a gig to the population. Scream for Me Sarajevo brings that story, in all its madness, to the big screen. A story of musicians who risked their lives to play a gig to people who risked their lives to live them.

Iron Maiden fan, be prepared to get your hands on a proper stack of tissues; as for me, I was most fascinated by the descriptions of wartime hardship within the underground music community during a senseless and messed up time, openly illustrated by the horrific period footage of random snipers rampaging through the streets. My problem, however, is with Bruce Dickinson, who despite his vocal qualities just sounds like a terrible dork, and his visit to Sarajevo years later comes across like a seven-year-old hanging out in a museum because his parents promised him he'd go for ice cream afterwards.
