DOCUMENTARY
Indiras Tagebuch
Indira's Diary
'Slowly I'm losing myself,' wrote Indira Berisha in her diary on the 19th of April 1999 whilst sitting in a tent in the Stenkovac
refugee camp in Macedonia. Indira is one refugee amongst tens of thousands fleeing the conflict in Kosovo. A few pages later
she writes, 'I asked myself, if it was possible to touch the soul, would the soul feel anything?' The documentary film Indira's
Diary tells the story of Indira Berisha, who fled Kosovo during the first days of the NATO bombing campaign and faithfully
documented every step of her journey in her diary. The film follows Indira as she returns to her home town in search of her
missing father whilst also exploring the world of brutality, humiliation and loss of identity as a refugee which she describes
in her diary. The present day reality of her return and the memories documented in her diary combine to convey a story of
expulsion, flight to Kosovo and homecoming.
