Looking for Esmir

In the summer of 1994 Serge Janssen was based in Srebrenica as a twenty-one-year-old soldier and amateur photographer. Esmir Mujičić was an eighteenyear-old refugee from the nearby village of Štedra. The two young men soon became friends. After a couple of months Serge had to leave Srebrenica and he took one more photograph of his friend before saying goodbye. This was the last one ever taken of Esmir. Twenty-five years later Nick Teunissen promised Serge to help him find Esmir’s relatives. Together with inhabitants of Srebrenica Nick went on a search for Esmir’s mother, hoping to give her this photo. Gradually Nick got to know more about Esmir: how he lived before the war, the kind of person he was… 'Looking for Esmir' is the story of a young man who wanted to get away from besieged Srebrenica hoping to start a new life.
