Plot: Interviewing over one hundred people in an often very hostile environment is already a momentous battle but when the film has been completed, convincing the media that the documentary has been historical and not political was another horrendous battle. Many TV networks rejected the film just because it was either "too political" in parts and was in black and white and it was longer than 60 minutes; the standard format being 30 to 60 minutes and in color. The main protagonists in the documentary have also been confused about the choice of black and white and about some of the director's other projects and this has perhaps been the last winning task to perform. Life is never black or white -or what it seems- especially in this part of the world. Besides when there is only one white person (the director) amongst 100 people interviewed including the crew, the film was artistically defined from the onset.
