Full description for Fools Rush In

  • Some trips are chosen, others choose you. When tragedy strikes Bill Carter's life he finds himself drawn to a war zone. Sharing his extraordinary journey into a modern heart of darkness, the besieged city of Sarajevo, we meet a man rebuilding the ruins of his former self in the most unlikely of places. Carter joins a maverick aid organization, 'The Serious Road Trip', and dodges snipers and shells to deliver food and supplies to those the UN and the NGOs can't reach. He makes friends with the artistic community of Sarajevo and fights alongside them for survival in a place where food and water are scarce, where you meet death every day, but crucially where life, love and laughter ring out all the same. The sorrow, determination and humour of a select group of people living in the worst of times will lend him the key to his own recovery. In his quest to share the inspirational message of this community Carter takes his journey one surreal step further and enlists the help of major rock band U2, who will enable him to broadcast the plight of the Sarajevans to the rest of the world. The ensuing events will go no small way to influencing the course of the war and Western awareness of it. Fools Rush In takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride from Alaska to Dublin to Los Angeles to Sarajevo and back again while Carter seeks answers to questions he didn't even know he had. Compelling, humorous, hopeful and at times almost beyond belief, it is nonetheless all true.
