Dickinson said: “The amazing few days I spent in Sarajevo with my solo band before Christmas in 1994 were among the most intense of my life. Creating a story to carry the emotions, the madness, the tragedy and the triumph on screen is no easy task.
“My own trip was that of a long-haired heavy metal singer going through crossfire in a city that had been under siege longer than Stalingrad. Mine was of course not the only trip on that day. , and then, at my home in London, I left fellow travelers in Sarajevo on the road of life. This film is actually dedicated to their story, not mine. “

“The true story of the children and local musicians who attended this show is as poignant as it is inspiring. Many of them did not make it. As Bruce has said before, we hope this film will pay them back. tribute.”
