Actor Dragan Micanovic plays Buzov in the film written and directed byNebojsa Slijepcevic.
The characters other than Buzov, though fictionalized, are based on actual court transcripts.
And most of the lines that are spoken in the film I have found in these transcripts.
Slijepcevic told Deadline it was critical to receive permission from Darko Buzov to make the narrative.
He was very generous…
He offered his help, and it was very important for me.
Without his permission, Im 100 percent sure that we would not make this film.
Tomo Buzov was killed at age 53, making him a year older at death than his son Darko.
Darko toldNIN, I have never felt the desire for revenge.
Revenge is never sweet; it always drags you into something even darker.
Nor have I felt hatred.
I would do the same now.
