TV documentary on Kosovo: can you help?

From: Michel Collon <michel.collon@xxxxxxxxx>

Dear friends,

I just come back from Kosovo where I shooted images for a TV
documentary (50 minutes or more) about the situation of Serbs and
other minorities in Kosovo today.  I was helped by very good and
courageous profesionals there. We now have 450 minutes of very good
interviews in Betacam.

This situation is dramatic and is not improving although there is now
another government in Belgrade.  On the contrary.  Two weeks before,
the representative of Belgrade was almost killed by a bomb.  Many
assistents of Rugova are also targets.  Some Albanians I interviewed
believe a civil war will occur in the next years.  Between Albanians.

I interviewed many ordinary Serbs: old people beaten, expelled from
villages or houses, doctors, nuns, journalists, teachers and children
in the schools, theatre actors, families of kidnapped or murdered
persons.

I also interviewed representative of other national minorities:
Goranis, Roms, Moslims, Egyptians, Turks, Jewish. Expelled or living
under terror.  The situation in the ghettos is really terrible.

1200 Serbs were kidnapped and I received documents showing how KFOR
(NATO) does not really investigate to find them neither the
perpetrators.

I also interviewed a responsible of the civil Unmik administration
whose opinions are very significant.

How can you help?

1. Do you know profesionals - producer and and mounter - who coule
help me?  We have no money but we believe it is our duty to
communicate the truth all over the world about this Nato occupation.

2. Can you help to make translated versions in different languages?
The interviews are in Serb (or Albanian and English), and will be
translated to French)?

3. Can you help for the circulation of the film (I believe it would
be good to present it for the second anniversay of the war)?

Please contact me.  All suggestions are welcome.  Thanks in advance!
