Filmed during the bitter fighting before the NATO air war began, The Valley is a journey deep into the killing fields of Kosovo, Europe\u2019s last war of the 20th century. The Drenica Valley was hit first and hardest in this war and is now devastated.<\/p>\n
This extraordinary film shows how the spiral of fear, hatred and killing\u2014fueled by ancient myths\u2014can take on a terrible logic of its own. The Valley dramatically demonstrates the power of understatement and underproduction. Here, haunting scenes of burning villages and charred corpses are offset by vast natural beauty. With its horrifying yet visually beautiful cinematography, and its reliance on natural sound devoid of distracting music or narration, the documentary creates stunning immediacy and realism.<\/p>\n
Producer and director Dan Reed spent much of 1998 in the heart of both the Kosovo Albanian uprising and the all-out Serbian offensive that followed. His film bears witness to, as he puts it, \u201cthe parallel half-truths which divide the Serbs and Albanians of Kosovo and make them blind to each other\u2019s plight\u201d and \u201cthe sheer incestuous brutality of war between neighbours.\u201d<\/p>\n
