Magistrala ratnog zločina - Logor Negoslavci
Documentary preview screening
A historical documentary drawing on documents from The Hague and personal testimonies to expose Negoslavci’s role in the aggression against Vukovar and the ongoing search for truth and the missing.
The documentary “Magistrala ratnog zločina - Logor Negoslavci” presents a comprehensive, historically grounded account spanning the earliest preparations for the attack on Vukovar through to 2026. Focusing on the village of Negoslavci, which served as a key command post for Sector South under the direct control of the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and local Serb paramilitary forces, the film draws on analysis by historian Ante Nazor, PhD, and authentic documents from The Hague to expose the mechanisms of Greater Serbian ideology, aggression, widespread looting and executions.
At the heart of the film are untold stories of human suffering, presented through a mosaic of twenty contributors whose accounts span the wider Vukovar area, surrounding communities and horrific killing sites such as Petrovačka dola. Following stories ranging from the first Croatian police officer taken captive to families whose lives have been permanently marked by a search that began in 1991, the film delves into family tragedies that reverberate across generations.
During their extensive research, the filmmakers gathered a substantial body of information and documents. The film openly identifies local Serb terrorists and aggressors by name, while strictly respecting the presumption of innocence and limiting its claims to what can be established through irrefutable evidence.
Set against exclusive testimonies and footage, including the burial of Vukovar hero Jean-Michel Nicolier, is a painful reality: those who know the truth continue to remain silent. This film is a universal cry for more than 1,700 people missing from Croatia’s Homeland War, seeking not revenge but, in the face of a wall of silence, simply the right to their own names.
