>   An extraordinarily powerful documentary, CALLING THE GHOSTS is the 
>first-person account of two women caught in a war where rape was as much an 
>everyday weapon as bullets or bombs. Taken to the notorious Serb 
>concentration camp of Omarska, the two women, like other Muslim and Croat 
>women interned there, were systematically tortured and humiliated by their 
>captors. Once released, the pair turned personal struggles for survival 
>into a larger fight for justice-aiding other women similarly brutalized and 
>successfully lobbying to have rape included in the international lexicon of 
>war crimes by the UN Tribunal at the Hague. Chronicling the two women's 
>experience and their remarkable transformation, CALLING THE GHOSTS is an 
>indispensable resource for deepening understanding of human rights abuses 
>and combating violence against women in the global arena.
