DOCUMENTARY SERIES, IN DEVELOPMENT

Sport to the people

The documentary series Sport to the People explores the founding, evolution, and eventual dissolution of Yugoslavia through the lens of sports. It tells the story of Yugoslavia’s lifecycle as a tripartite structure. The first two episodes focus on the establishment of Yugoslavia and the role of sports in promoting socialist ideology, highlighting the efforts, promises, and early achievements in building a successful sports nation. The next two episodes track the development of this agenda, showcasing both the triumphs and challenges faced along the way. The final two episodes cover the resolution: the gradual but inevitable breakup of Yugoslavia following President Tito’s death, culminating in war.
