It has its world premiere this month
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are producing a movie focusing on U2's involvement in the Bosnian War., the documentary is said to be"an exploration of the perils of nationalism and art’s role as a weapon of resistance and activism" and will feature footage of the band's landmark concert in Sarajevo in 1997 after the conflict."Amid the breakup of Yugoslavia, the citizens of Sarajevo wake to find the city under siege and Bosnia at war.
"In a far-fetched scheme inspired by local resistance, an American aid worker living in Sarajevo reached out to the world’s biggest band, U2, to see if they could help raise global awareness of the devastating conflict. The band agreed and across the summer of 1993, their ZOO TV Tour featured live satellite interviews with local Sarajevans who described their plight to the concert-goers.
"When these interviews came to an end, the band pledged to perform in the city once the conflict was over.
Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Kiss the Future is directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain and will be released in Ireland sometime after its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival on 19 February.
