"HERE'S THE GOAL" PREMIERES ON SEPTEMBER 3RD AT THE CITY STADIUM IN BANJALUKA

The Banjaluka premiere of the documentary film "Here's the Goal," produced and written by Ljubomir Tešinić, will take place on September 3rd at 7:00 PM at the City Stadium in Banjaluka.

This film tells the story of the first "major" football match in the Republic of Srpska after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, played between FK Borac Banjaluka and Rudar Prijedor.

Just twenty days after the official end of the war, two matches were held to determine the winner of the Republic of Srpska Cup—first in Prijedor and then in Banjaluka. Over 20,000 spectators gathered at the Banjaluka stadium for the return match.

For the first time in five years, war and politics were not in the spotlight. Media reported: "Yesterday, weapons spoke here, and today, football is being played."

"Here's the Goal" is a patriotic film with a strong anti-war message.

At a time when the world is a stage for several war zones, this anti-war sports story, seemingly local in nature, shows global potential through which we can promote Banjaluka and the Republic of Srpska. This is a patriotic film with a powerful anti-war message. Through the football elements of the final match, the true need to affirm life is reflected. A region, the Republic of Srpska, once devastated by war and suffering, is now internationally recognized, becoming a place of hope and future - the organizers added.

They also emphasize that, in addition to the documentary film, a three-episode series will be produced, providing more space for the numerous participants involved in the project.

The film was produced by MLT Media in co-production with Radio Television of the Republic of Srpska and LM Production, with the support of the City of Banjaluka.
