Former US President Barack Obama published a list of favourite films in 2021 and on it is the Bosnian film ‘Quo vadis, Aida?’ which deals with the east-Bosnian town of Srebrenica during the genocide of 1995.

“Next up are my favorite movies of the year. Each of these films tells a powerful story, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did,” Obama tweeted.
