Balkan Underworld – The Rise and Fall of a Warlord

Описание: In the chaos of the 1990s, as Yugoslavia collapsed and war tore the Balkans apart, one name rose from the criminal underworld to become a symbol of fear, power, and controversy: Željko Ražnatović Arkan.



From a street criminal and international fugitive to the commander of a feared paramilitary unit, Arkan’s life reads like a dark crime thriller — but every part of it is real.



This documentary explores:

the violent criminal underworld of Yugoslavia in the 80s and 90s

Arkan’s connections to organized crime and state security

his rise during the Yugoslav Wars

the paramilitary units linked to war crimes in Croatia and Bosnia

his influence, wealth, and fear-based power

and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his assassination in 2000



Arkan was feared by enemies, protected by powerful allies, and surrounded by myths, rumors, and unanswered questions.

Even after his death, speculation continues — about his influence, his crimes, and the system that allowed him to rise.



This film does not glorify violence or criminal acts.

It is a factual, narrative-driven documentary based on historical sources, witness accounts, and public records, aiming to explain how war, crime, and politics became dangerously intertwined in one of Europe’s darkest decades.
