TV Documentary - ‘A Lethal Legacy’

As part of its mandate, SEESAC is responsible for the provision of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) management information, exchange and awareness mechanisms in South Eastern and Eastern Europe. SALW communications and awareness is a fundamental component of the SALW Control process, involving the use of professionally developed ‘core messages’ and influential dissemination strategies to shape the perceptions, impart knowledge and change the behaviour of the civilian community toward SALW. Therefore as part of the SEESAC communications strategy funding support and technical assistance has been provided to a Stability Pact initiated series of documentaries focusing on the human security challenges in SEE. The series of documentaries will primarily focus on border management, SALW control, legislation and organized crime.

The documentaries are being filmed and produced by the South East Europe TV Exchange (SEETV). This is a non-profit media organisation that aims to offer a platform for regional TV collaboration on topics of regional interest, as well as relating to future Euro-Atlantic integration. Various European Governments through the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe fund the organisation and it is one of the Regional Capacity Development initiatives.

‘A Lethal Legacy’ is a 25-minute documentary aimed at informing the general public not only on the general dangers of small arms and light weapons, but also on the impact on human security. The documentary focuses on FYR Macedonia, Albania, South Serbia and Kosovo and illustrates the ‘spill over effect’, which occurs when regional conflicts are exacerbated by weapons proliferation across borders. This film is not about the causes of conflict, but rather about the legacy of weapons proliferation during and after periods of conflict.

Since its completion the documentary has already been aired by TV Alsat, a leading news channel in Albania with similar network coverage in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Entity of Kosovo. In collaboration with SEETV, the documentary has also been distributed to all affiliate channels of SEETV in South Eastern Europe and all the national TV stations in the region. It is also hoped to raise major international media interest in showing the programme.

The official launch of ‘A Lethal Legacy’ took place in the second week of July in New York during the Second Bi-annual Meeting of States of the UN SALW Programme of Action.

SEETV

The documentaries on Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW), Security Sector Reform and the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe were kindly made available by the South East Europe TV Exchanges (SEETV), a Stability Pact supported initiative.

SEETV is an initiative of various TV journalists working for South Eastern European media. Their aim is to work in pool in order to jointly provide TV newsrooms in South East Europe, and in the Balkans in particular, with a new source of news footage and feature stories.

The news footage provided by SEETV is mainly focussed on the European integration process of South Eastern Europe. SEETV also offers a platform for TV journalists from South Eastern Europe to collaborate on joint feature stories, on subjects of interest to the South Eastern European public at large.

Being based in Brussels, SEETV aims to develop a TV agency service for broadcasters in the Balkans, which don't have TV correspondents in Brussels at the moment. SEETV covers all major events linked to the Balkan region happening in Brussels. These stories and news packages are made available to all interested broadcasters and TV newsrooms in South East Europe.

SEESAC hopes that all SEE SALW stakeholders will find these short reports useful. The files are in RealPlayer format:
