About Demons of War (1998) — A harrowing tale of duty and desperation in Bosnia
Władysław Pasikowski's *Demons of War (1998)* plunges into the brutal moral complexities of peacekeeping in post-conflict Bosnia, where duty clashes with conscience. The film follows Major Keller, a polarizing Polish IFOR commander whose reckless defiance of orders during a Srebrenica patrol places him under scrutiny by two incoming investigators.
