To Triumph

by Greg Karnilaw composer/librettist

What does it mean to be a "good" man? A good individual, a part of a group, or country dedicated to something good, something just. A group or one that not only cares, but take action to make a difference. A person willing to put aside personal interest and try to do what is right, what is good. 

What happens when the good people try, but fail? When evil has it's way?

In 1993, the Untied Nations Security Council officially made Srebrenica the world's first UN-protected civilian safe area.  Two years later, under the watch of UNPROFOR's 370 Dutchbat soldiers Srebrenica fell to the Bosnian Serb army. The Serbs separate the men and boys, from the women, elderly, and children. More then 8,000 Muslim Bosniaks men and boys were then massacred by the Serbs. Between 25,000 and 30,000 Muslim Bosniaks women, children and elderly were forcibly transferred, and abused by the Serbs. 

This was the Srebrenica Genocide.

This is the tragic story of what happened when good people stopped trying.
