In July of 1995, the town of Srebrenica witnessed some of the worst crimes committed on European soil since the Second World War. More than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims were executed here by Serb forces and buried in mass graves. But Srebrenica is also the place where little Jusuf was born. His mother Dusica is a Serb, his father Almir a Bosniak. Their love story has met with hostility from all sides. But the couple remains convinced that love can conquer hate.
