What happens
Zaveštanje (Serbian Cyrillic: Завештање, lit. 'The Testament') is a 2016 Serbian documentary film directed by Ivan Jović. The film features firsthand testimonies from survivors of World War II-era death camps operated by the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), focusing on their experiences of survival, acts of solidarity, and post-war reconciliation. Stylistically compared to Shoah (1985), the film relies exclusively on oral histories without archival footage. Jović has stated plans for sequels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
