It was in this city that Hitler was granted his demands a move with far reaching consequences for the continent. They then continue their journey to Vienna, the majestic capital of the former Austro Hungarian Empire. There, they examine the lessons to be drawn from the reign of the Habsburgs, who played a leading role across a significant part of Europe for centuries and exerted a lasting influence on the continent's political and cultural development.

They set out to find the people who have the courage to speak out against the government. During their visit, they meet students fighting for the democratization of their country and speak with a journalist who, despite constant threats, continues to warn of the dangers posed by the current regime. The report offers a compelling picture of the challenges facing champions of freedom and justice in Serbia.
