Author of this film has been collecting for years examples of unprofessional journalism during the war in ex-Yugoslavia territory (1991 – 1995), especially those examples speaking of war agitation, propaganda and hate speech. From June 2009 director follows, with the camera, the developments related to announced criminal charges of the Independent Society of Journalists of Serbia against the unknown persons – journalists responsible for the war agitation and propaganda at the Serbian Prosecution Office for war crimes. This is the first actual attempt to raise the issue of responsibility of journalists who were war agitators as a public issue. At the same time, from June 2009 to May 2010, the author visited people throughout the region who were in one way or another included in the war propaganda, trying to find an answer to questions: „Where are the war propaganda journalists today and what are they doing?“ i.e. „Does this question means anything nowadays in these communities“?
