Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film's title references Friganović's actual claim that his victims 'forgave' him as they died—a lie he told to justify his brutality.
The Jasenovac camp system, where these killings occurred, remains contested historical territory between Croatian and Serbian nationalist narratives.
