RT published this video item, entitled “Srebrenica vs Jasenovac: Guess which crime gets sympathy in Hollywood | Big Stories & Beyond” – below is their description.
Two movies:
‘Dara of Jasenovac’ is about a fascist regime in the Balkans murdering hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews and others.
‘Quo Vadis Aida?’ is about the killing of thousands in a wartime enclave in the Balkans.
You’d think the Academy would judge the two films fairly, but not all war crimes get equal sympathy in Hollywood.
The Balkans , also known as the Balkan Peninsula, is a geographic area in southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains that stretch throughout the whole of Bulgaria from the Serbian–Bulgarian border to the Black Sea coast. The Balkan Peninsula is bordered by the Adriatic Sea in the northwest, the Ionian Sea in the southwest, the Aegean Sea in the south, the Turkish Straits in the east, and the Black Sea in the northeast. The term has acquired a stigmatized and pejorative meaning related to the process of Balkanization, and hence the preferred alternative term used for the region is Southeast Europe.
