Please join us for a Private Screening of the documentary feature film, "Battle in the Balkans". This is a special event that will feature a private screening, a live Q&A with the star of the film and National Team Hero, Lorik Cana. Theater seats are limited and admission is granted by advance ticket purchases. About the movie: On October 14, 2014 the two Eastern European countries of Albania and Serbia faced off on the soccer field in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. With Albanian fans not permitted to attend the game due to purported safety concerns, the stadium full of Serbian fans echoed racist chants and death threats. Tensions rose to a boil when a drone carrying an Albanian flag flew above the players and onto the pitch. Angered fans rushed the field, attacking the Albanian players, forcing the match to end. A history of political tensions, war and genocide is explored as we follow the journey of the Albanian National Team on their first EURO cup appearance.
