I must admit I have been rather irritated by the way all the Pro Life blogs and links are using my film as their reason for life!.Not one word from Pro Choice? All they seem to do is copy from this site, copy what all the others have done, watch the trailer NOT THE FILM! and tell everybody how bad the film is not showing graphic images of dead babies, but still saying “(WARNING: The trailer contains very graphic nudity and is not suitable for young audiences)” How do they know what is in the film. Honestly if anyone wants to have an opinion about my film then BUY IT!, don’t just run like sheep after all the other sheep.
I am a very serious documentary film maker making a very important document about Russia.
One thing is really good, everybody will be very surprised when they watch the movie, with a tear of happiness in their eye at the end.
Russia is a great country, the problem is changes have come too fast and then the weakest must take the consequences.
So all you TRUE Pro Lifers, buy Killing Girls and then tell me your opinion.

I totally respect people with such a burning goal be it pro life or pro choice. They all make
a difference, make us think!
As an independent film maker I feel exactly the same.
I think we are all born on this world to help others,this is our meaning to life.
My uncle was a Methodist minister, we always had long talks about about
religion. As a documentary photographer and film maker, I have always found religion a powerful and intriguing group to document.
I was born in Belfast Northern Ireland, religion was always used as a excuse for murder etc.
Everybody around the world had the answer to the troubles in Northern
Ireland, but finding a solution was never easy!, nothing is simple.
Nobody in my film is bad, it is the “system” the state that needs to change.
Was I supposed to condemn Nastja who was raped, her father an alcoholic,
her mother dying of cancer. No I went over to her, held her hand and tried
what I could do to show her understanding and some caring.
Films cost a fortune to make, I got paid next to nothing to make Killing
girls. but it was a film of principle. Pro Life and Pro Choice fight like
cat and dog. I hate fighting, I made a film both Pro’s! and both groups
can agree this is not abortion it is child birth these girls have to go through, they all go through
labour and it is not right even I can agree with that, but what should these girls do, they do not
have the choices you and I have in rich western countries. What do we do
with ALL the babies in the film ( babies unit ) they all had aids, they
are abandoned so by Russian law they are not allowed to be adopted and no
one will take them.

Everybody needs to watch the film then it is possible to say what is right or wrong.

I must admit, I am a little shocked with some of the response I get on my film. There seems to be little respect or thought for the girls and doctors in my film, I am told over and over again, that I have to show graphic pictures of these girls aborting. WHY? This would have shown a total lack of respect.
I had 100% respect from the hospital staff and the girls I filmed. I am not working for either Pro Life or Pro Choice.
We have a girl who had been raped, should we condemn her or understand her? I will never condemn her, we have a ward full of abandoned babies, all of them with AIDS, nobody will ever have them. What should we do? I feel for the first time we are showing the truth about this really sad subject. I am very proud of what both Anna Sirota and myself have achieved. Just think what we had to go through. We have made a difference, we have made an important document where you decide what is right or wrong.
I can say I was put on this world to help others. I hope Killing Girls will make everybody think…

We had the world premier of Killing Girls here in Norway. The main response is this film is really important document.
Really interesting to see how many people are buying the download versions of Killing girls and not just buying the DVD. The premier was great. a lot of people and a lot of great response from the newspapers and blogs :-

Even if we tried to make a film which is not about numbers most newspapers are interested in how many abortions women make and how late they are. Our film is about choices or a lack of choices.
Killing Girls is not a scary movie. I promise you get a film that you don’t expect. As a film director, I will never give the viewer what they expect.
It seems pro choice has very little interest so far in the project, even if we used 2 years extra on the project to balance the film.
We have already been nominated for a number of awards, and look forward to a busy year with film festivals and screenings.
So we look forward to read everybody’s opinion.

Finally after 7 years of work Killing Girls documentary is finished. I have made 2 versions of the film. The 80 minute uncensored film festival version which is in Black and White and an censored 52 minute version in color.

Killing girls has been a film that nobody wanted made, I got NO, NO and NO every where I tried to get funding, at last I did get some funding from the Norwegian Film Institute and the Free Word foundation.

I have been condemned by the religious sector, because I am not making what they want.

Killing Girls is a film from my heart, my experience and how I dealt with everything. I stopped smiling after I made this film, but I can promise you that you will have a tear of happiness by the end of the film. I am giving you an abortion film that gives you an ending that you do not expect.

Please don’t abuse the film or share the files, this as I said is a 7 year experience that I wish to show the world.
