Familiar surroundings transform and friends and acquaintances turn into enemies in this unsettling portrait of snipers, in the midst of the war in Bosnia in 1992.
Sniper, originally broadcast on 19th December 1992, was created by Stephen Schwartz, with recordings from Boro Kontic. It won the Prix Italia in 1993.
The feature contains content that listeners may find distressing.
In the transcript for the Prix Italia the producers described the process of making this feature –
“While researching Sniper, Stephen Schwartz discovered that while plenty of people talked about snipers, very few had actually talked to a sniper. So he got in touch with a colleague, Boro Kontic, in Sarajevo via the EBU satellite, which was the only secure line into the radio station in Sarajevo, and asked him to do the interviews with the snipers. When the tapes were ready they were smuggled out by an Irish TV man, who mailed them from Frankfurt during a stop-over. Much of the live sound in this programme was taken from TV coverage of the war in Sarajevo. The sounds were then processed digitally – like the rest of the programme.” https://www.radioatlas.org/sniper/
