Bojana and Toma are the authors of the new documentary film Rotting 2022.

What are they trying to convey with the title of this film, which they filmed in Europe and Africa over ten years?

Tomo promised himself three beautiful things in life while studying at the Kranj Technical School, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ljubljana, and the High School of Economics and Commerce in Maribor.

First: the most beautiful car.

Second: the most beautiful house.

And third: the most beautiful woman.

Then, after receiving his passport, he went to Africa, and all his priorities changed. Why?

What did Tomo feel must exist somewhere, and what has he been searching for since that rebellious year of 1968? And what did he find?

Bojana is Tomo’s wife. Since they met ten years ago, they have been reporting together from the most exploited, despised, and forgotten continent. She is a journalist, teacher, and mother.

The film Rotting 2022 is Bojana’s and Tomo’s child. It was born out of love, after Tomo had almost given up on ever finding what he was truly searching for.

Bojana and Tomo don’t just travel to the most inaccessible places on the planet. They film, photograph, direct movies, write for newspapers and magazines, publish books, and give lectures to the broadest public. They also follow politicians and lobby the most influential and well-known figures who claim to work for democracy, human rights, and environmental protection.

They call for help for the most innocent of humankind, those who can no longer help themselves. The most endangered indigenous people who have survived the entire history of the slave hunt and the “Kill the slave with a slave” politics, and who continue to defend their families with weapons in their natural fortresses in the Nubian Mountains and the liberated territories of the Blue Nile in Sudan.

In the documentary Rotting 2022, you will see and hear how they found the rotting bodies of the still-living lepers and how “Mother” Europe, the UN agencies, and good people reacted.

After 55 minutes of the film, they will answer your questions.

In the meantime, they will try to tell everything that they weren’t able to fit into the film last year.

They will also sincerely tell you how the film was received at the world premiere, which this time they didn’t organize in Cannes, Berlin, or Amsterdam, but among the lepers they are treating with the help of friends in Africa. And how the film has been received in Slovenia and Europe. They will also discuss the similarities and differences between the war in Africa’s Sudan and the war in Europe. And what their plans are now, after all their experiences.

You are invited to join us if you are not afraid of the truth.
Tomo and Bojana
