ABOUT THE MOVIE
‘Ratni reporter’ prati zbivanja tijekom agresije na Hrvatsku 1991. godine, koja je promijenila život svim njenim građanima. Film nije istraživanje povijesnih istina, već autorovih osobnih istina. Koristeći snimke koje je načinio za vrijeme Domovinskog rata kao snimatelj Hrvatske televizije, autor iz prvog lica priča posve osobnu priču. Rat se događa na mjestima gdje je odrastao i sanjao neke druge snove, ali stvarnost – ne samo ratna – ponešto je drukčija. Posve se razotkrivajući, autor na primjeru svog života nudi slojevitu i obuhvatnu paradigmu rata na način na koji je on vidi.
