Survival

1h 24m Feature 2025

SURVIVAL is an emotional documentary exploring the power of music during the siege of Bihać during the war of the 1990s. At the center of the story is Sejfo, frontman of the band Okus Meda, who together with a group of musicians and singers creates the song ”Ljubav je svijet” (“Love Is the World”) as a symbol of hope, resistance, and life in a time of fear and destruction. Through personal testimonies, archival footage, and the story of how the song came to be under siege, the film shows how music became a way of surviving, preserving identity, and preserving humanity. SURVIVAL is a powerful story of courage, togetherness, and art that was louder than war.
