Sarajevo

Yeah.

Well, so the song that you're referring to is Christmas Eve 1224, Sarajevo.

Right.

I may have said that out of sequence, but you know what I

I had no idea that this was all going to kind of get me ready for that one moment in time where Paul said, I'm looking for something specific for this song.

And I said, all right, dude, let me hear the song.

And he put the favors up on what was to become Christmas Eve Sarajevo.

And I looked at him like, you know, like you would and go, all right, what's with the Christmas song? And he laughed, you know.

I spent time in a refugee camp.

I was also in Sarajevo for a bit.

And I lived with folks at a refugee camp where the dads...

They had to kill their kids and vice versa because some people were Serbo-Croat and others were Muslims and others were Bosnian and others were etc.

Ireland is also doing it because it's in vital national interest.

We saw that the first shot of World War I was fired in Sarajevo and tens of thousands of Irish people died in the First World War.

That went on to the Second World War.

Ireland was bombed numerous times even though we tried to be neutral.

May he rest in peace and may I see you soon.

I am in Sarajevo, and the city is under siege.

I live in a small apartment with my family, we do not go out much because it's too dangerous, there are bullets and bombs all around us.

Every day we hear the sounds of war, and it's a constant reminder of the chaos that now grips our city.

There are no real schools anymore.

We learn by candlelight because there's no electricity.

Our teacher tells us stories about peace, about how Sarajevo was before the fighting, and it's hard to imagine now.

The tales of normal life feel like fairy tales from another world.

She's on a bit of a writer's block.

She ends up going and saying, I'm going to go to Sarajevo.

Sarajevo.

I can't, they say it so much in the movie.

Sarajevo.

Anyway, she wants to write about the Bosnian war, this huge, and in particular, like i googled it afterwards because i even i don't know that much about it um why'd i say like such a like oh even i who knows everything i don't know much about the bosnian war um the and i had i found out it's this 14 1425 day siege is how the war ended anyway all these terrible atrocities and things happen into it so she goes there and she wants to do it and what the film ends up becoming it's not really a movie about someone writing about the Bosnian War and being inspired by it and writing about the atrocities of it or whatever.

The film actually becomes sort of tackling the key question of is it okay for her to, to write about that? There's like an earlier scene in where she's attempting to talk to someone and, um, uh, they say, why do you want to write about this? And she's like, well, I'm Polish basically saying that because Poland's it's, it's, it'd be like, I dunno, saying, I don't know.

Yeah.

He's at the Sarajevo and Balkans, traveling to war-torn part of Europe because in the 90s there was a war.

Because that was also the way to make everything very... for american comics that was the way to make everything seem like

whoa the whole world is a disaster you're lucky you live here yes even michael jackson got this in his video

i think i think i said it in the preview i just there's something about them and quietly went about the change in the summer they've shown it on the pitch they're scoring goals and like say that they are that under the radar team

yeah they do i wonder what it'd be interesting to know what their injury records been like so far this season because that might be a pointer as to how they they've managed to do it and we haven't really because we've just constantly having to chop and change things in our team um yeah right then referee wise referee interesting one this yeah it isn't short because i was a bit caught out by when i looked up because i said yeah i used to search for soccer base and the thing jamie robinson the name of the ref the first thing that came up was the former carlo player jamie robinson but jamie robinson he's actually from porter down in northern ireland because um apparently he he seemingly has been refereeing at the irish league level for like five or six years or something like that and he's actually a fifa registered referee he's taken charge of conference league games he took charge of a um champions league qualifier between connor's key nomads and sarajevo a few years back as well quite a mad one but um but yeah he tends to take charge of like welsh and uh and uh irish um games i think in those things off because he

can speak the language it probably helps

yeah yeah yeah But he's done a few of those this season.

No one could have told that like Lucy told it.

Lucy had this idea to use miniatures to tell the story of Sarajevo and other places that she went.

So we got to build these lovely monochromatic miniatures for her.

Which is a cool idea.
