What backs it

Mileva "Gara" Jovanović, a Montenegrin mountain herder, successfully opposed the government's plans to turn Sinjajevina's pastures into a NATO military training and weapons testing facility. She spoke at a rally against the proposal and became the subject of an award-winning documentary that has swept festival prizes, including the grand jury prize for world cinema documentary at Sundance.

Worth noting

The documentary has won major festival recognition; the status of the NATO facility proposal itself is not detailed in this excerpt.
