“Statements about the movie„

“Desperate Hours„ -  is a truly unique work od documentary filmmaking,  combining a compelling story with thorough historical research and outstanding directorial skills.

- Carol Bidault, Director and founder - DC International Film Festival

At a time when we read in the daily press that actions of antisemitism and terror against innocent civilians are growing and at a time when we think we have heard all of the stories about the Holocaust, along comes Victoria with another chapter.

- Rochelle Wilner - President of B'nai Brith, Canada

I strongly commend all those associated with the film Desperate Hours... directed and produced by Victoria Barrett for helping to elucidate and publicize one of the most important chapters in the long, dramatic, and mutually rewarding history shared by the Jewish and Turkish peoples.

- Honorable Tom Lantos of California - U. S. House of Representatives

In the annals of world war II heroism, Turkey's work in saving over 20.000 European Jews has been neglected, a slight this refreshingly old fashioned documentary seeks to correct.

- Chuck Wilson, L A Weekly Review

Desperate Hours, a new documentary about Turkey's role in the Holocaust, is proof that there are still stories to be told and people to be applauded.

- Jerusalem Post

Well written, - with an uplifting message of decency.

- The Washington Jewish Weekly

My immediate reaction was: everyone must see this!.. if it were not for a small crew of dedicated workers, we still would not have been able to bring this story out from the archives of forgotten history.
