Meet Amira, Snjezana, Ifeta and the women of the Mostar Women’s Citizen Initiative, an exceptional group of community leaders, political activists and ordinary citizens who have launched a joint effort to transcend ethnic and religious strife in a country fractured by war. More than a decade after the Dayton Peace Accords quelled Bosnia’s conflict, the people of Mostar remain divided by the war’s legacy of prejudice, and by a single bridge –the historic Stari Most- the dividing line between Croats and Bosniak Muslims. With narration provided by former U. S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), Building Bridges recounts the inspirational story of this remarkable group of women who set aside sharp differences to heal the painful wounds of war. The Mostar Women’s Citizen Initiative’s disciplined and sustained advocacy efforts produced a new law protecting women and families. Through friendship, courage and common purpose, the women find they are changing an entire community, discovering their own inner strength and protecting a future that they came so close to losing.
