Matt Damon discusses new documentary about U2's work in Bosnia 

People have no idea how epic Sarajevo was in those days and how cynical and ruthless the siege was. They did not lose their humanity and they still refuse to succumb to hatred.

I am Nermin Dedic Fico, bass player and singer from Sarajevo. I'm part of it. I played with Bono Vox, Maurizio Avogadri Ramakavya and Vladimir Kajevic (Don Guido) for New Year eve 1996 as well. However, pleasure is mine. Thank you Christiane Amanpour and Bravo for Matt Damon and I wish you all the best!

Im from Bosnia and this was awesome!

Spent a week in Mostar, and then a week in Sarajevo a few years ago. I travel a lot. This place is the most inspiring place i've been to. Bosnians are so very kind. They're in my heart forever ❤

I was there my family survived the Sarajevo siege. Thank you for putting us Sarajevo people on the map and telling the world about the horrific things we experienced!

Can’t wait to see it. Thank you Bono. Thank you Matt

Give it an Oscar already

This made me cry. Amazing. Popular music does have its place , I believe it.

Knowledge and understanding, kindness and love - we need so much more.

How wonderful to be in a position to make a positive difference, but for some the good you can do is vote, every vote counts and under the current circumstances your vote is more important than ever. 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙💙💙

Music is universal! ❤

Art is a universal language✨

❤ Matt Damon

Guitar is a good mind instrument. Matt is a excellent player in his role. That's his series. He is able to listen to Irish rock. U2 is natural holy band. Especially, these groups is fingering my soul. She is very in the mood of art.

This will be banned in Florida.

Must see because Matt is such a great human being, and a fantastic actor. 💪👍👍👍

The power of art in times of pressure…it’s so important to be reminded of that. Every moment when darkness seems to prevail, there is a light, and this light is what human mind is able to produce when standing up against injustice and violence, including any act of war.

I have no idea of those circumstances but I know for people all around the world in times of sadness or depression or dark circumstances, music is a place for security and feelings of positivity and would add normalcy.

Mattttttt Dammonnnnn

“Fortune favors the brave” -Matt Damon

These are my heroes 🫡

I was at that concert in Sarajevo in 1997. Unbelievable experience

Hard to believe that war wAs 28 years ago! Like...really??? I thought it was like ten in my head....wow.....😮

Matt Damon and Ben are just Perfect Chemistry!

hows the current music scene in Gaza?

Bravo for making this. The current government in Serbia denies it committed war crimes in Bosnia and in the former Yugoslavia. I'm glad you are bringing this to light.

I can't wait to see this documentary!!

Bruce Dickinson was there during the war! Watch Scream for me Sarajevo documentary!

Is U2 a good band?

George Santos is suing Jimmy Kimmel. 😅 Loved The Martian and look forward to the sequel with Ben. Jupiter ..Europa miners fighting space crime. War is obscene and as Modi said of another era really. 👏

Why don't you guys cover the genocide against Palestinians

humanity is vision... because... that is mankind's final destination....

❤🇺🇸 Matt Damon

Matt has gone way down being on cnn

#atAMC 🚀🔥

❤❤❤❤❤❤

morning Matt

Awesome :)

How you doing?

Sarajevo was the site of the 1984 winter Olympics... communistic Yugoslavia...

Nice

I did the math. Matt Damon was three when Vietnam War protests ended. If he grew up during them, as he mentioned, he was a very early developer. Even the memory of them was not so great in the 80s.

Hmm Matt Damon Grew up during the Vietnam war. I forgot how old he is 😉

Remember when RU-vid videos got Gonzalo Lira killed?

mat daimon,its patriot,for what part..mouve or music or?

"Plausible reasons have never been lacking for putting off all merely cultural activities until some imminent danger has been averted or some crying injustice put right. But humanity long ago chose to neglect those plausible reasons. They wanted knowledge and beauty now, and would not wait for the suitable moment that never come. Periclean Athens leaves us not only the Parthenon but, significantly, the Funeral Oration. The insects have chosen a different line: they have sought first the material welfare and security of the hive, and presumable they have their reward. Men are different.They propound mathematical theorems in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffold, discuss, the last new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache; it is our nature." C.S. Lewis from 'Learning in War-Time'

Gaza Bono?

I had no idea that this turned from serious topic about the Bosnian war to a call from Nolan and then a Dunkin Donuts ad. The interview is a mess.

Freedom of Julian Assange

Just a simple question….since there were no people seeking damages; then who does $355M go to?

He said “ I grew up during the Vietnam war” he wouldn’t have even beeen alive then..

Ms Amanpour, Ireland is just the other side of Europe from BiH, not the world.

Underground culture in war torn Sarajevo, Ukraine is awesome ... and underground culture in war-torn, bombarded Belgrade 1999 - don't care 👏 👏 👏

I know am artist in Kiev, Ukraine that runs two theaters. He is a play writer, an actor and singer. He needs help. Please help me help him!

How come there not a story about Matt & Ben when they were a couple, FACT

U2 bites

The Bosnia war were democrats did nothing while 100,000+ plus civilians were killed.

😘💓

U2's work in Bosnia can not compare to the amount of work millions of iPod users had to do to get their forcefully promoted, overrated album off our iPods!

*) it is great that this movie exists *) it is an irony that Ch.Amanpour praises the move - the woman who did her part of "selling" all sorts of Western medlling in Balkans, who did enormous number of super-biased reports and created many conscious misinformation *) Bono? he is raising his voice against an ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, right ?

MD on a redemption tour lol

Art and porn will survive

Bono has inserted himself into world politics with his ego. He's the lead singer of a rock band from 40+ years ago.

Fortune favors the bold 😆 #FTX

How about making a documentary on Hunter Biden's "work" in Ukraine?

😂😂😂😂😂

When it comes to Serbs, if everyone hates you so much maybe you should ask yourselves some questions.

🇧🇦❤️🦅🇺🇲

Why not do the same about Muslims in Gazza? Is Bono there now? Standing against ethnic cleansing? No? Why not?

how much do you need to create hatred between friends, Serbs, Bosnians, aman

Did you ask Matt why Fani had her dress on backwards?😂

It's too bad Bono doesn't care as much about the Palestinians.

I watch the news for real life not for you to see people who play pretend

Urgh, Ms Amanpour, where is this "undergound" art community in Ukraine. The whole country is not under siege. Art and music in Kyiv or L'viv or Odesa is wioe out in the open. We have no snipers in the heights shooting at the zookeeper trying to keep the lions alive (one of my favourite BiH memories). There's a huge difference in the cause, scope, and conduct of the war between these two wars... And while this might seem nitpicking to anyone not intimately involved in either event, the whole of Ukraine is not like Avdiivka or Bakhmut. Most people go about their lives supporting the economy and the war effort from a distance. If it was the Russian army besieging Sarajevo, it would have been flattened within six months and 50,000 Russian soldiers would have died in meat-wave assaults. The Serbs (surprising as it might be for some) actually but a value on Serbian lives. Russians, not so much for other Russians; albeit more than how they value human lives in general.

Matt Damon ,U2 😡 ĜIVE ME ORANGE MAN BAD TIDBITS TO SATISFY MY SEVERE TDS CRAVINGS!!!!!

Catholics... seriously_

Oh wait, wan't Bono singing in Las Vegas worshiping the Israelis ?! Is there a new movie coming for the palestinians singing while bombs are falling people risking theirs life, or this ones are not important ?!

Earning money on other people’s misery. Hatred deepened as ‘divide et impera’. Nobody wants peace. Money and war bring money and make the world go round. So enough with hypocrisy.

Absolutely no one wants to hear anything about U2. This isn't charity, it is a desperate plea for continuing relevance by alleged musical artists U2

Yes, let's remember a genocide that happened 30 years ago while ignoring the one that's going on. About a band that specifically is ignoring it; remembers on stage about the horrors of the 7th October while not mentioning the over 10'000 slaughtered children in Gaza. You can make then in 30 years a documentary about it.

Ask him about his Pal Harvey Weinstein

MD ripped off people so he HAS to do this. It's a shame his status was still enough to bring in people that mean well. In the end a good cause was served. Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reason...

This entire project is such BS. I am not referring to the U2 involvement. The footage the producers of this documentary attain is just another capitalistic form of using those stories for their own profits. If this documentary was made to open some eyes of the people, this should've been on PBS or Over-the-Air type of broadcast stations, not in the subscription-based streaming services. Not sure what to think of Matt Damon's involvement in this and if he realizes it's really for profit while exploiting the stories of a war-torn country.

1997’ We played cards & danced - the Edge & Bono’ Damon he’s Lame’ Warner studios -

Elton John should get involved!!! Muslims love the LGBT.

honestly or hunting money for film and cinemas??? think about it

Next Russia ukraine 2014 cia coup

U2, the band that flashes 666, Satan and Pizza behind them during their concerts.

Does he put money in Harvey’s canteen fund?

Music will always Trump dictatorships.. let's hope for Swift results this time round.

Bylgarian mafia 😊 ...histori

All of you hypocrites sine you voided Palestine 🇵🇸 it means not one world, she kept involving Ukraine 🇺🇦 but not single word for Palestinian

😂😂😂AND HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER ACTOR TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF

U2 is a joke

😂😂😂only a matter of time before U2 tour a Palestinian album

Matt you have the power and platform to actually do work abroad. But no… go ahead and make movies about other people’s thats the same

TRUMP 2024

@Mr. Matt, I am sure you read. Please read NYT's best-selling author, Mr. Greg Iles up coming book *SouthernMan*.It would be nice to see you,Mr. Matt is making the movie of this book. I do not know if anyone already has done that. I mean, asked Mr. Iles.
