Description

In August 1992, a shocking photograph of a starving, emaciated man behind a barbed wire fence of a Bosnian concentration camp stunned the world.

The picture, taken from an ITN report was of a Bosniak Muslim called Fikret Alić.

Reporter Ed Vulliamy was there when the photograph was taken.

In this programme Ed reunites with Fikret and hears how the picture, which was published around the world, eventually helped Fikret flee to safety.

This programme contains descriptions of sexual violence.

It was produced by Anna Miles.
