Synopsis

Glasgow during lockdown: Empty streets, empty roads, playparks devoid of life with a population hiding indoors. Juxtaposed alongside this footage is an audio voiceover read by a survivor of the 1992 – 1995 Sarajevo siege in Bosnia. They describe their city in lockdown, day to day life, their challenges, thoughts, fears and their hopes. The voiceover could easily be that of a Glaswegian in Spring 2020. 

There are striking similarities between this wartime siege and the lockdown experienced in Glasgow.
Just as in Sarajevo, our freedom of movement was very limited – we couldn't travel, go to pubs and restaurants, children couldn't go to school.
