Amid the breakup of Yugoslavia, the citizens of Sarajevo wake to find the city under siege and Bosnia at war. As the blockade stretches for years, living becomes an act of defiance and rock and punk music inspires and detracts from the daily nightmare of Serbian shells and snipers. In a far-fetched scheme inspired by local resistance, an American aid worker living in Sarajevo reached out to one of the most popular music acts in the world, U2, to ask if they could help raise global awareness of the devastating conflict. The band agreed and throughout 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. Kiss the Future is directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain and produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
