Skutečný příběh o chirurgii a boji o život. V dubnu 1992 hrstka mladých lékařů, z nichž ani jeden nebyl chirurgem, zůstala uvězněna spolu s 50 000 muži, ženami a dětmi v obklíčené enklávě kolem města Srebrenica, na území Bosny a Hercegoviny. Ve Srebrenici, městě, jehož tragický osud je stále aktuální, tito lékaři čelili nejintenzivnějšímu porofesnímu, etickému a osobnímu vypětí ve svých životech. Přeložil Petr Tůma.
