My Thousand Year Old Land (A Song for BiH)

A story of the search for truth, justice and hope through three generations of women.

On the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide, this play brought the beauty, music and culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina to audiences.

Written by Aida Haughton MBE and Susan Moffat.

Based on survivor testimonies from the genocides and war crimes that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, this play brought the beauty, music and culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina to audiences, telling a story of the search for truth, justice and hope through women whose lives are changed by the deaths of their communities’ men in war.

The performance included a 30 anniversary programme, a special video message by Munira Subasic, President of Movement of the Mothers of Srebrenica and Zepa Enclaves and information for school and community groups on how to access the Rescuing the Names workshop.

This play has international significance and should be seen worldwide. ”
