Director Biography – Benjamin Baumgartner

Since 2014 he is part of the ensemble of the Romantik Theater where he is playing performances every season.

Director Statement

In many films, no matter how visually brutal they may be, the plot is often wrapped up in a heroic story, which unfortunately does not always correspond to the truth. The truth is the suffering that people have to endure day after day in a war. Our aim is to produce a film that is as realistic as possible in its subject matter, that touches people and raises awareness of this important issue.

That’s why I think that because of recent wars and events we have seen world wide we have to set a sign and work for peace and for a Brotherhood of Nations all around the world.
