The author and director, aviation journalist Tim van Beveren said: „It was a special privilege and honor for me and my crew to be part of the festivals. We are very grateful for this opportunity and would like to thank the organizers. These awards are a recognition and acceptance for all affected crewmembers and passengers worldwide who suffer from contaminated cabin air. They are also a tribute to those whistleblowers within airlines and aircraft manufacturers who provided sensitive and classified information and data to us. Contaminated cabin air is a dirty little secret of an extremely wealthy industry, which is only now pulled to light, against all odds. I hope now manufacturers of aircraft and their primary customers, the airlines will finally take the appropriate steps necessary to rectify this long lasting problem and provide better alternatives for cabin air systems on passenger aircraft. Also its time for the responsible politicians to abandon their sleeping beauty attitude.“
The film was produced over the period of two and a half years. It could only be made because participants waived or referred salaries and payments. Worldwide distribution is with Albatross World Sales GmbH, Leipzig, Germany. Currently a Spanish and a Chinese version are being prepared to be released soon.
