Radio Zid was a community radio station that continued broadcasting throughout the Bosnian war. Its presenters were snipered, bombed, starved and dehydrated ( no water or electricity for nearly 3 years) but they continued broadcasting. driven by the knowledge that the community needed them and they needed to tell the community and the world what was happening inside the town of Sarajevo.
The war in Sarajevo spawned a new term 'culturcide' - the destruction of a society and a country through the mutilation of its culture. Radio Zid, was the resistance to this notion. Part One of three Parts.
