THE TUNNEL: “How Many People Can a Tunnel Connect to Life?” Despite all the destruction, Ottoman and Turkish traces are most clearly visible in Europe. As an example of perseverance and determination, he led the country during the period leading to Bosnia-Herzegovina’s independence. The tunnel connecting it to the world was built. The Tunnel Changed the Course of the War and Brought Victory! In the war that lasted from 1991 to 1995, during which approximately 300,000 civilians were massacred, President Alija Izetbegović ordered the construction of a tunnel to break the Serbian siege around Sarajevo and bring humanitarian aid to the city. With the completion of the 800-meter-long, 1-meter-wide, 1.6-meter-high tunnel, which was lined with rails and carrying wagons in 1993, the course of the war began to change instantly. This documentary is the story of a people connecting to life through the tunnel and is the face of the tunnel in our history. It will be shown to the world. With this documentary, the world witnessed the beginning of the Bosnian resistance story. It will be. The entire story of a people’s connection to life through the tunnel and the face of the tunnel that opened into our history. Showing this to the world is our greatest goal. With this documentary, we want to reveal the true story of the tunnel and show how it changed the destiny of a country. While tunnels carry high mountains on their backs, they go to this trouble only to shorten distances and make it easier for people to travel. However, there is a tunnel built not to shorten distances, but to extend lives. This tunnel bore not the burden of mountains, but the destiny of a nation. That tunnel was a lifeline, a breathing tube, a hope for freedom. That tunnel connected a besieged country to the world, and its people to life. Thanks to this tunnel, one of the world’s most volatile wars ended in victory. The tunnel made it possible for many people alive today to survive. Now think again! How many people can a tunnel connect to life?
