Boris Malagurski (Serbian Cyrillic: Борис Малагурски) (born August 11, 1988 in Subotica, SR Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a Serbian-Canadian film director, producer and screenwriter.[1][2][3][4]
Malagurski's film Kosovo: Can You Imagine? (2009) dealt with the topic of human rights of Serbs in Kosovo.[5][6] The film has been described as:
Months after it was completed, it became a hit worldwide, on the Internet, but also in the diaspora, as well as some festivals. [...] An objective, authentic journalistic approach to the issue, as well as brave work on the field, make this documentary an accomplishment envied by any author
— Pečat Magazine[1]
In December 2009, the film had its broadcast premiere on Russia Today, the first all-digital Russian TV network.[7][8]
Malagurski's latest film, The Weight of Chains (2010),[9][10] deals with Western involvement in the breakup of Yugoslavia [2] The film is supported by the Global Research Institute[11] and tackles the question of why Yugoslavia really fell apart,[12] the answer of which, according to the author, is far from how the media present it.[13] Malagurski also examines the current economic situation in the former Yugoslav republics and offers a unique perspective on the major political and social issues facing the people living in that part of the world.[14]
The Serbian newspaper "Politika", the oldest daily in the Balkans, described Malagurski as the "Serbian Michael Moore"[2], followed by the same description by Press.[15] Malagurski's future plans involve a documentary film about Belgrade.[16][17]
