A sobering, character-driven account of young soldiers confronting the moral and psychological toll of a forgotten conflict.

If the conflict in Bosnia has become something of a forgotten war, it's not for the want of trying from the immensely powerful BBC film Warriors, the story of five young soldiers and their harrowing experiences in the region.
