About Why Did Alija Alijagic Shoot
The reconstruction of assassination of Milorad Draskovic, then-minister of internal affairs in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, that took place on July 21, 1921 in Delnice, Croatia. This TV drama uses authentic recordings from the trial that resulted in death by hanging of Alija Alijagic, the man who shot one of the government's chief ministers.
Directed by Arsenije Jovanović, Why Did Alija Alijagic Shoot leans on a strong ensemble — Dragan Maksimović, Branko Đurić, Radomir Vukotić — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1974.
