Bald's visit to Zvornik
We know about Bald and his jolly approach to traveling post communist regions, but I would say his visit to Zvornik didn't quite scratched the itch I was hoping for.
The area surrounding Zvornik is known for its high density of mass graves and the many mass killings that took place in this area.
I have understood that the locals aren't exactly keen to talk about the past either, because they already have been too bored with it on a regular basis.
However, the areas of Zvornik, Bratunac, Banja Luka, Potocari, Srebrenca, Omarska, Prijedor, among others, asside from their stunning beauty are all worth the investigation for what has happened over there.
I mean, visiting these places of atrocious significance is practically imperative to his style and channel. It fits his whole modus operandi perfectly. If there is one person who can pull that off and effortlessly hook an audience, it is him.
Imagine Bald going to the exact same spot in Hotel Fontana where Mladić insulted Karremans, or the place where the men were separated from their families in Potocari.
Hiking the same trail thousands of families did when fleeing from being murdered.
Or the Susica camp near Vlasenica, where a commander told detainees he was *'the God, the stick, and the law'* and where families were separated and packed into hangars on bare concrete, etc.
Currently, he only scavanged a bit around the border area and that was about it, which I have found off-putting
Here is some info on the scale of the atrocities
