>> a being from bosnia, it was not about learning about the conflict. learning just how awful it was and how perfect and just how deep the the fear was and how important it was that these women are the victims and are the survivors. this is something that filmmakers often tends to forget when they're talking about bosnia or making any kind of art. they forget to say we're talking about survivors. to talk about what happened to them, this is like the new law passed. that rate is considered a war crime. -- rape is considered a war crime. tavis: there was a scene in the movie that was for me the most seminal, moving part of the movie. because the movie is subtitled but there is a scene where zana and her sister in the film are reunited. i do not speak the language and i did not have to speak the language. you chose not to subtitle that scene because anybody understands what these sisters are saying to each other tell me about that scene. i thought the decision to not subtitle that was brilliant. >> thank you. it comes from my inability to write it. i felt
