About this audio guide
This guide to the Cetina River Canyon near Split centers on January 1993, when occupying soldiers wired explosives into a dam upstream, calculating how much water this gorge could swallow before it drowned Sinj, Trilj and the mill towns below. It follows Mark Gray, a British Royal Marine serving as a UN observer, who spent weeks quietly working a spillway gate the guards never watched. Look at the river today, clear and carrying kayaks past Radman's old mill wheels, and picture the arithmetic upstream that never got to prove itself right.
