A barren island in the Adriatic Sea was between 1949 and 1956 the site of an internment camp where Tito's regime sent its opponents for "re-education." At Goli Otok, the newly minted anti-Stalinists were fighting Stalinists with Stalinist methods. How did the prison and labor camp at Naked Island come about and what happened there? How do people remember and commemorate this dark stain in Yugoslavia's history?

With Tiha Gudac. Featuring songs titled "Goli Otok" by Ratsmagick, Valter i Perspektiva, and Voyvoda.
