Director Statement

There are no real winners in a war.
All sides lose, but the biggest loser is humanity.
But even in the worst of times, we can still grab onto what makes us human and manage to rise above the darkness.

This film was a labour of love.
We had no government or any other kind of external funding (except from a few hundred euros to cover our food). We worked tirelessly over a weekend simply because we believed in this film and the message that it is trying to tell.
We want to share it with the world and we feel that the world needs to see this...unfortunately now more than ever.
