The film is based on a horrific crime committed in Bosnia 30 years ago. There are three sides to every crime: the perpetrators, the victims, and the witnesses. I was particularly interested in the third group. We approached the film as if it were happening today, and as if this situation was happening to us, here. It's easy to imagine that the passengers on the train are someone else, but they could easily be us, and in a way - they are. Acts of violence take place around us daily. Locally, it’s not as extreme as during the war in former Yugoslavia, but globally - it is even more extreme. And each of us is faced with the question posed by the film’s protagonist: should we stand up to violence even if we are not its immediate target?

In Nebojša Slijepčević’s short film The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent, Gregor Božič showed how powerful a means of expression one small camera movement can be and how big a film one can make in a small space.
Slovene: FeKK BAL Po resnični zgodbi posnet film, silovit prikaz zadnjih trenutkov življenja Toma Buzova, je "napeta zgodba, pripovedovana z veliko gotovostjo, spretno kinematografijo in prepričljivimi igralskimi nastopi, uspešno ustvari napeto in klavstrofobično vzdušje na vlaku iz Beograda v Bar."
