Alumni Filmography filmmaker's note Writing "Forgive me" and making this film was the biggest challenge ever we had. "Forgive me" is a drama in the family, a hard decision to make, and a moral issue between family members. Here, in Kosovo is not easy even to talk on topic that we have in our film. I personally know people who went in Syria, just because someone washed their brain. They have fallen in the war, and their families are totally destroyed, first because they lost a family member, and second they are now absolutely stigmatized in our society. Some of the crew member of the film “Forgive me” has refused to put their name on credits of the film, Because they have been afraid that something bad will happen to them in the future from the radical Islamic people who lives in Kosova. I love making films, and telling stories in this way, I feel like filmmakers should be also the people who say the truth all around the world by their movies, and "Forgive me" says exactly the truth I lived these last years. related links
