Synopsis
An examination of the ugly activity in the former Yugoslavia that has given the world a new phrase--"ethnic cleansing." The Yellow Wasps were a Serbian paramilitary group that crossed the Drina River into Bosnia in the spring of 1992 and unleashed the campaign of torture, murder and deportation. Their crimes, along with those committed by other similar outfits, ultimately led to thousands of deaths and forced the expulsion of thousands of refugees. The survey examines what Serbian, U.S. and United Nations officials knew about ethnic cleansing and what they did and did not do with this knowledge.
