Last week we watched a movie on the uprising of Bosnia’s government. It was quite interesting to see how a bunch of young students could go from doing a couple of protests to end up bringing a whole nation together to up throw the leader of Serbia. It started with a small group of students gathering together to propose that the current leader of Serbia to step down. They were able to work from the bottom where the people are to the top where there were a number of politicians who opposed the current leader of Serbia. This young group of students was able to spread their influence throughout the whole country of Serbia. Different slogans and that icon of the fist were put all around on shirts and in different cities. It got world wide attention and brought everyone to their feet.
I admire what these people did. This was something that has changed history. I could not imagine the amount of people who drove to the capital and raided the parliament. It was hilarious to see how the police put a blockade on the road to the capital but when the people came the police force let them just move the blockade and drive right by. There was no control over the police because they ended up joining the revolution. I feel that it was quite amazing to see something build up to get to high politicians in the country. It gives me hope to think that if a group of young students can make so much into overthrowing a dictator then what if that could happen here with any other problem. I think this movie showed the rest of the world that anything is possible. I think it shows that people are the true source of power.
