At a show in Bologna, Italy, the relationship with Bill Carter evolves further as Carter appears on screen after U2 sent him a satellite dish for this purpose. Carter tells the audience that two bombs have killed a child and injured five others within the hour, and that this is happening close enough to the concert grounds that if he left Sarajevo by plane, he could be at the concert before it was over. In future satellite hookups, Carter will bring local residents in front of the camera to give a personal account of the war between the Muslims, Serbians, and Croatians.
