The Weight of Chains 3

The Weight of Chains 3 is a 2019 Canadian documentary film directed by Boris Malagurski, dealing with the issue of how the military-industrial complex, big business and political interest groups endanger peoples’ health and existence, focusing on Serbia.

[1][2][3] As the third installment of The Weight of Chains trilogy, the film deals with NATO's use of depleted uranium munitions during the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the environmental disaster that this allegedly caused and systemic issues that prevent people from taking democratic control over their countries.

Through interviews with Serbian and Italian military and medical experts, the film suggests that NATO knowingly turned the Balkans into an experimental laboratory in which KFOR soldiers and civilian populations were human guinea pigs.

The documentary moves on to assess the potential threat coming from genetically modified organisms, small hydro plants, air pollution and climate change, advocating that the neoliberal system is to blame for the ongoing destruction of the environment.

Detailing the rise of Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić and several of his government's affairs, the film suggests that change is no longer a matter of choice, but a question of survival.
