Film 04 | Statement from Director Nicole Leghissa

Through this film I really wanted the displaced scientists speak for themselves.

My choice from the beginning was to build the story’s structure following the protagonists’ words and experiences. I spent a long time looking for the right people, and when I found them, I established with them a very personal relationship.

We became friends and they opened to me the doors of their lives. They shared their thoughts, fears and hopes. They did this because they trusted me and because they thought that this film could be useful to support other scientists like them.

All the people who participated in this documentary, in front and behind the camera, did it for the same purpose: to have an impact, to support change.
