Can anyone recommend a good documentary on the Bosnian War? It's something I'd like to learn more about

There is a BBC documentary/mini-series/ called The Death of Yugoslavia. We used it back in the day in classes at the Department of History at the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo. This one should cover your general interest, and it's probably the best overall.

I watched this one, Scream for me Sarajevo, last year and I find it quite interesting. It's about Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden when he came to play a gig to the population under siege. There is also one about the fall of Srebrenica A Cry from the Grave. One about concentration camp Omarska called Calling the Ghosts: A Story about Rape, War and Women.

Unfinished Business - War In Mostar, about East Mostar in the fall of 1993 at the height of the Bosniak-Croat conflict during the Bosnian War. ROCK'N'WAR ...Or Just Because It's Friday a story about the phenomenon of the rock music scene that emerged in Tuzla during the war in Bosnia, from 1992 until 1995.

After the war probably Back to Bosnia in which family returns to post-war Bosnia to reclaim their stolen property and are forced to examine their past.

There is also a documentary about Richard Holbrooke, The Diplomat in which The Bosnian War is a central focus.
