Liquid Courage Films (Production) A Short Film Project directed by Amy Miketic Black Boots is a 20-minute dramatic film inspired by the videotaped massacre of Bosnian civilians by a Serbian Paramilitary Unit. Black Boots tells the story of a father and son caught on opposite sides of the ethnic strife and their heartbreaking reunion that will lead to the videotape being brought out of the woods. Set in North Eastern Bosnia during the summer of 1995, Black Boots is an allegory about family, heritage and politics in Yugoslavia as it collapses under the weight of ethnic nationalism.
