Addressing the audience prior to the screening of the documentary, Rufat Hamzayev, AnewZ Executive Director, shared insights into the production.

The AnewZ Executive Director stated that work on the film began in January of this year, adding that the filming of the project, which lasted 10-11 months, took place in eight countries. “About a hundred people worked on the project,” the executive director emphasized.
