War in the Balkans dominated headlines throughout the 1990s,
displacing millions of ordinary people and renewing debate over
responses to genocide in the modern era. St. Louis is home today to
nearly 20,000 refugees from war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, one of the
largest concentrations of any city in the United States.
As awareness of the large Bosnian community in St. Louis grows,
relatively little is known about the actual lives and experiences
of these refugees. "After the Fall" looks at the impact of the war
and the reality of "ethnic cleansing" in the life of one extended
Bosnian family in St. Louis.
Through richly textured photographs and compelling first-person
interview narratives, "After the Fall" tells the story of the Oric
family from the city of Srebrenica, survivors of the 1995 fall of
the United Nations-declared "safe area" and what has been called
the single greatest atrocity in Europe since the end of World War
II.
Important for those interested in human rights, photojournalism,
immigration, and regional history, "After the Fall" opens a door of
understanding on a significant new community in St. Louis of people
rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of one of the twentieth
century's most brutal conflicts.
