The Highland

"The Highland" is an epic story and a grand media undertaking worthy of being described as a national project of great historical importance and social responsibility. Namely, for the first time since the 1950s, with objective and historically accurate depiction of events in Serbia in April and May 1941, without the victorious impassioned depiction, without single-minded thinking or ignoring of truth, without judgement or labelling, "Ravna Gora Highland" honours the finest freedom-loving traditions and aspirations of the Serbian nation, regardless of its organisation during World War II. At the centre of attention we see the Taralic family from the village Planinica located on the slopes of Ravna Gora Highland. Fate, anguish and torments of this family are a metaphor of the collective misfortune of the Serbian people who have been suffering the consequences of fateful historical events undertaken by actual historical personalities, including King Petar II, generals Dusan Simovic, Bora Mirkovic, Colonel Dragoljub Draza Mihailovic, Josip Broz Tito, Slobodan Penezic Krcun, Davorjanka Paunovic, academician Slobodan Jovanovic, Milan Nedic, majors Miodrag Palosevic, Aca Misic and many other officers, anonymous soldiers, citizens and peasants.
