Lejla Damon is a 25-year-old woman full of life. She grew up in a middle class family in London. Her parents, journalists, covered the Bosnian War for Sky News. In December 1992, while filming in a bombed Sarajevo hospital, they saw a woman trying to drown her newborn baby. Conceived through rape, the child was considered the seed of the enemy.
During the Balkan War, between 25,000 and 50,000 women were victims of sexual violence. There’s no official figure because many victims either didn’t survive or still live in silence.
Lejla, Alen, Ajna were born as a result of war rape. 25 years later they join other survivors in their struggle to break the silence and overcome stigma. For these victims, has the war ever ended?
