“I’ve been fortunate to produce films that resonated with audiences worldwide, but Red Alert< is deeply personal. It tells the story of my own people, and of a day that changed everything. What makes it so powerful is that it isn’t just drama — it’s real. At a time when some are questioning or forgetting what happened, it felt vital to capture the truth with authenticity and cinematic power. The courage, the heartbreak, the resilience — I’m proud that these stories will be seen and remembered around the world.”

“As a filmmaker, I felt compelled to tell the story of a nation shaken to its core. In the first weeks, I was consumed—my daughter began to stutter, the son of her kindergarten teacher was murdered. I journeyed south, met survivors, cried with them. I witnessed unfathomable atrocities—and unimaginable bravery and selflessness. Our vision was clear: to highlight the power of kindness, altruism, and sacrifice. This is not just a television show—this is a testament to the extraordinary hope and resilience within all of us.”
