Sarajevo in 1994 was a city under siege. Mortars and grenades rained down on the city, killing indiscriminately every day. Amongst the madness, would it be possible to persuade a global rock star to come and play a show for local fansScream for Me Sarajevo is the soundtrack to the amazing and astonishing documentary film story of the most unlikely of rock concerts, performed by Bruce Dickinson and his band Skunkworks in 1994, in the midst of the Siege of Sarajevo. This is a film about extraordinary people defying the horrors of war, and the musicians who risked their lives to play a show for them. Featuring footage from the historic gig, the film also meets those that made it to the show and made the show happen determined to keep living their lives despite the atrocities going on around them. Interviews with the band, crew and security bring home the reality of the situation that was not only dangerous, it was barbaric.We weren039t protected, there was no plan and the bullets were real, but fuck it, we went anyway said Bruce in his recent bestselling autobiography What Does This Button Do, 34The gig was immense, intense and probably the biggest show in the world at that moment for the audience and for us. That the world didn039t really know didn039t matter. It changed the way I viewed life, death and other human beings.34 Bruce Dickinson Double-Vinyl is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £25 +P&P
