Before you buy

Three fair questions.

Is the research real?

Yes. Every fact comes from the written report, which names its sources page by page. The maps, paintings and photographs are real archive material, credited as they appear.

What if my surname is not written yet?

Ask for it. If the record carries enough to write honestly, the report is written first and the film follows.

How does it reach me?

An email with a private link. Nothing is attached, so nothing bounces, and the file is yours to keep.
