00:24I want to thank Yoran, festival director,
00:30thank you so much.
02:35But I can tell you now from the depth of my being and with sincere humility that this heart
02:43of Sarajevo award means more to me than any honor I've received.
02:51I came here 30 years ago.
02:57The time just scooted on by to film this movie that you're about to see.
03:05And I met Gorn Visnich, who is with us tonight.
03:12It was a great shock coming here just after the war.
03:16The devastation was unimaginable.
03:20Many of you, of course, know what I'm talking about.
03:23Some of you are a little young to remember that.
03:26But the Bosnians would say that they hoped when the Serbs were digging one of their mass
03:35graves, they would strike oil so the U.S. would get involved.
03:40And I thought, wow, they have a better understanding of U.S. foreign policy than most Americans.
03:48And that continues today.
