However, I recommend to everyone Where are you going, Aida? To watch it upon entering the theaters, when cinemas are allowed to reopen. The film tells the story of the genocide in Srebrenica in July 1995. Then Bosnian Serb forces took 7,000 Muslim boys and men from the Srebrenica enclave and killed them. The story is told through the eyes of Aida, who worked at the Dutch United Nations base as an interpreter for the United Nations. “
Johan Hildenberg plays the Dutch colonel Kariman, the leader of the Blue Helmets, who had to protect the residents of Srebrenica but left them in the hands of Serbian commander Ratko Mladic. “The film is far from an indictment of the Dutch blue helmets. The film is a blame for the United Nations, which failed to deliver the promised aid,” says Hildenberg.
Very few people have seen the movie because it has not yet appeared on the streaming services. He was released from release when the halls reopened.
He tells Hildenberg on the phone while he is on his way to take a Covid test. Needs it for registrations later this week. Playing in a movie that earned an Academy Award nomination pays off because Johan Hildenberg is soon expected in a movie in Portugal.
