Necessary Targets

Synopsis:
two American women, a Park avenue psychiatrist and an ambitious young writer, travel to Bosnia to help women refugees confront their memories of war. Though the two have little in common beyond the methods they use to distance themselves from their subjects, they emerge deeply changed as they confront their own fears in the face of violence, resiliency and war. Based on interviews conducted by eve ensler with numerous women who survived the civil war in the former Yugoslavia, NeCeSSaRY TaRGeTS is a timely reminder of how America struggles to define its relationship to the rest of the world.
