Oscar-Nominated ‘The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent’ Tells Chilling Story Of What Happened Aboard Train 671 Three Decades Ago


The Oscar-nominated short 'The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent,' is based on a real atrocity that occurred during the Bosnian civil war.

Of all the nearly 500 non-Muslim passengers on the train, only one man spoke up against what was happening, a former Yugoslav army officer named Tomo Buzov, an ethnic Croat and a Christian. “Toma Bozo’s wife, she died a couple of years ago and she spent her life trying to find her husband because the remains of Tomo Buzov were never found,” Slijepčević said. “Then she also tried to get some justice for her husband because even today not all the killers from the train are put on trial and still it was never really clear who ordered the massacre because it might be that it was not just like the action of a group of 20 crazy ‘war dogs,’ but something much more sinister.”
