ABOUT THE MOVIE
Bosanoga (an entirely accidental death) is a story about a series of events in 1981 that have left a strong impact on an entire generation of young people in Rijeka. Although they have remained a mystery, they are still a vital part of the social fabric of the city. The starting point of the documentary is the death of Nenad Vižin, a collateral victim of the brutality of the former system. His violent death was the catalyst of a unique phenomenon in the history of the former Yugoslavia: 300 citizens of Rijeka signed a petition asking the communist party to take responsibility for Nenad Vižin's death. As a consequence the petitioners were submitted to accusations and prosecutions. This film depicts the mechanism of fear as an integral part of political systems and portrays a unique artistic rebellion that occurred in Rijeka as a reaction to fear and helplessness. It pays reverence to all the victims of their times and xenophobic societies, regardless of the system and political ideology.
