Interview with Oscar-Qualified Director Sabina Vajrace about the ”SEVAP/MITZVAH” Short Film

Director and writer Sabina Vajraca was born in Bosnia, and immigrated to the US in 1994 as a war refugee.

Since then, she has accomplished a lot as a director/producer. Her critically acclaimed feature documentary BACK TO BOSNIA premiered at AFI Fest and screened at over 30 festivals worldwide winning Director’s Choice at the Crossroads Film Festival, and is featured in the top 100 of the greatest films directed by women by the BBC.

Sabina’s new short film, SEVAP/MITZVAH is a true story placed during WWII in Nazi-occupied Bosnia, a Muslim woman risks everything to save her Jewish friends. 50 years later the tables turned.

SEVAP/MITZVAH has qualified to be considered for a 2024 Academy Award and rightly so. One of the most beautiful true stories I’ve ever experienced watching.
