BROOKLYN CONNECTION Klaartje Quirijns
/ Netherlends 2005 / 52 min
It isn't often
documentary filmmakers manage to directly and clearly depict
facts underpinning our social and political reality. Conflicts
such as the 1997-1999 Kosovo war capture the attention of
the media and human rights organizations, but there remain
certain aspects which are seldom taken into account. Klaartje
Quirijns' documentary depicts Florin Krasniqi, a Brooklyn
businessman born and raised in Kosovo, who bought hundreds
of firearms in the USA, both during the Kosovo war and after
the ceasefire, and transported them absolutely legally into
Albania. These were then smuggled into Kosovo. Krasniqi is
convinced a second war in Kosovo is only a matter of time.
