Quo Vadis, Aida? is a drama film directed by Jasmila Žbanić, based on the true events of the Srebrenica massacre that took place during the Bosnian genocide in 1995. The film follows Aida, a Bosnian woman who works as a translator for the United Nations in the town of Srebrenica.
As the Serbian army approaches, Aida desperately tries to save her husband and two sons from the impending massacre. She seeks help from her UN colleagues, but they are unable or unwilling to intervene, leaving her to navigate the increasingly violent and chaotic situation on her own. In the end, Aida must make a heart-wrenching decision that could mean the difference between life and death for her loved ones.
The film highlights the failure of the international community to intervene and protect the Bosnian Muslim population during the genocide, and the devastating consequences of that inaction. It has received critical acclaim for its powerful storytelling, emotional performances, and unflinching portrayal of the atrocities committed during the war.
