Yes.
I wonder if you-- pardon me-- if you saw Susan Sontag at--
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, I'm actually-- from first day in Sarajevo,
she came in office of magazine Dani, Days.
And I was editor in the magazine.
She came with her son, David Rieff.
I know Susan Sontag is important figure for Tucson,
too, because she was a high school student in Tucson.
And I remember she was in love with Southwest.
And yeah, she came in Sarajevo.
Susan Sontag is an important person
in recent Bosnian history, OK.
And I remember from first month--
well, in first month, she wrote an article,
article for New York Times from Sarajevo.
And she wrote an important sentence for me.
As a witness, she wrote, this is not a war.
This is a murder.
And that's the best description of what happened in Sarajevo
in the '90s.
I was a little angry because I ask
her to participate in my movie, and she
didn't like to participate.
But I mean, she's--
she was and she is a cultural icon--
not just American, globally.
What is Sarajevo like now compared to your memories?
[INAUDIBLE]
War was better.
You know, during the war, we expect some state in future.
We expect some regular community,
to be regular community.
And now, Bosnia is under international--
international protector was-- is Bosnian president to be.
[INAUDIBLE],, one British guy, he's a high representative
from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
And Bosnia and Herzegovina is a divided state,
split between Republika Srpska and the Federation
of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
But as a state, doesn't exist.
But the interesting thing is that Sarajevo
is cultural center of the region, in Balkan region
now, which is a result of war and sympathy.
And they have a literature festival, European literature
festival in Sarajevo.
They have an amazing film festival.
They have a perfect jazz festival.
And on that cultural level, it looks, everything, good.
But political-- or politically or economically,
it was destroyed.
