Scream For Me Sarajevo is the story of the most unlikely of concerts to ever rock the planet.

In 1994, rock royalty Bruce Dickinson, of Iron Maiden fame, performed against all odds for troops and locals alike, during the midst of the siege of Sarajevo.

Major Martin Morris was the officer who went against the orders of command to set up the concert.

Jade Callaway spoke to him about putting on the ambitious and dangerous gig, and the feature documentary movie that has been made about the moment in an interview with Forces Radio BFBS below.

The documentary chronicles the rock concert which occurred during the longest siege a capital city has faced in the history of modern warfare.
