The Igman March

The film is set in the years of the Second World War. The account rests on a real event. It took place in January 1942. The First Proletarian Brigade has to break out of an enemy encirclement. For that they set out on a night march. The road runs from the Sarajevo plain up to Igman. The temperature is below minus thirty. A blizzard makes the march harder still. The soldiers march in that cold with what they have. Cases of frostbite follow one after another. Nobody wants to be left behind. The march turns into a test of endurance. Tihomir Arsić and Branislav Lečić take the leads, with Slavko Štimac also in the cast, in Zdravko Šotra’s Yugoslav film of 1983.
