Raza the Great
2023
The documentary "Raza the Great" seeks to leave a legacy of testimony about one of the world's top basketball players, winner of several medals from continental, international, and Olympic championships, and accolades culminating in her entrance into the FIBA Hall of Fame. Her impact on basketball and sports in general, especially women's sports, is immeasurable. It is about Razija Mujanović, who played in various clubs over her lengthy career, winning several trophies and accomplishing impacts, most of which she was primarily responsible for. The same is true for two national teams (former Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina), which demonstrated basketball, athletics, and human values. Her development and growth, during which she transformed her height (from a disadvantage that started as a complex) into capital and benefit, are unique and noteworthy.Procession, III

2025
star 1In the documentary, we dive deep into the eight-year-old rape case against Antonio, son of the artist Anna Book. Through exclusive interviews and never-before-heard testimony, we reveal how our justice system can fail and lead to convictions in strange and diffuse circumstances. This film is not about determining Antonio's guilt or innocence, but about examining how the legal process was handled. I highlight flaws in the legal system, where crucial evidence and testimony was ignored, and how this affected everyone involved. I have had access to people close to the case such as witnesses, friends, family and Antonio himself, who shared his experiences after the verdict - from mental stress to addiction problems. We also hear from family members and others concerned who give their view of the events.Altman
