Summary
Discusses the rise and fall of the Serbian president Slobodan Milošević, and discusses the resistance movement Otpor. In 2000, Slobodan Milošević fought to hold power in Yugoslavia. His opponents were led by a student movement called Otpor! (Serbian for "resistance"), who attacked the regime with ridicule, rock music, and a willingness to be arrested. Their courage and audacity inspired others to overcome their fear and join the fight, leading to Milošević's fall from power, arrest, and extradition to the Hague to stand trial for crimes against humanity.
