• At the end of the film, there is the following text "In theory, the official hunt for war criminals in Bosnia continues to this day... However, the two most wanted men - Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic - continue to elude the U.S., the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, the Hague and all in the civilized world who claim to be looking for them. In the ten years that Radovan Karadzic has been on the run, he has published two books and one play. Perhaps if the International Community opened a summerstock theatre... ...But they're probably too busy "searching" for Osama bin Laden." Since the film was released, there have been major developments. Radovan Karadzic was arrested in 2008 in Belgrade and extradited to the Netherlands. Found guilty of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), he was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment in 2016. Later on, in 2019, his war crimes sentence was increased to life imprisonment at an appeal court. Ratko Mladic was arrested in Lazarevo (Serbia) in 2011 and extradited to the Netherlands. His trial lasted from 2012 to 2017. Similarly, he was found guilty of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and was sentenced to life in prison by the ICTY.
