This weekend marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, the biggest war crime committed in Europe since 1945. Two years ago, General Ratko Mladic, often considered the architect of the terrible events in this town in eastern Bosnia, was found guilty of crimes against humanity and genocide. He has subsequently appealed. In this film reporter Mark Urban, and producer Maria Polachowska, in 1995 the first TV journalists to film in Srebrenica after the massacre, return there to explore the terrible events and profile the man in command as the tragedy unfolded.
