Fatal Promises coming home to Austria

Leading up to it's European Premiere Fatal Promises has caused quiet a stir in Kat's home town Vienna. The film will be opening this year's Human Rights Film Festival "This Human World" on December 3rd at the Burg Kino, one of Vienna's prime locations and most traditional theaters. Days after the tickets went on sale for opening night and therefore the premiere of Fatal Promises the theater was almost sold out.

The Press in Vienna has also expressed great interest in Fatal Promises early on ever since Johannes Wegenstein, the founder, announced that the film will be opening this years festival. Kat and her mother and co-producer Anneliese have been interviewed by several magazines and newspapers and will be on Austrian Radio Ö3 this weekend.

When asked how Kat feels about showing her film at home she says: "I am very honored that our film is opening the festival and I have to say that it is very fitting for a Human Rights Film Festival, because after all I believe that the exploitation, the abuse and the lack of freedom victims of Human Trafficking experience are three very basic violations of our human rights."

Kat also mentioned that she is very happy that a festival like this exists here in Vienna and she hopes that a lot of people will come out and also see as many films as possible during the festival. "Some of these documentaries will never get a chance to reach the mainstream audience via TV or DVD, so this is a wonderful opportunity for both the audience and the film to see and be seen."

Fatal Promises screens in Vienna

A day prior to the big European Premiere of Fatal Promises in Vienna preparations for the event are in full swing. A small group of dedicated volunteers is preparing Fatal Pr

omises T-shirt and bracelet sales for tomorrow to raise additional funds for the Ukrainian NGO Faith, Hope and Love in Odessa. The proceeds of the sale will help keep the NGOs workshops for the re-education of survivors of trafficking open and hopefully will help them to expand the program.

The Fatal Promises Team has also managed to adapt it's New York Emergency card, which features hotlines and helplines people can call if the suspect a situation of trafficking, to Austria and will distribute them not only at tomorrow's premiere but also at the film's second screening on December 11th at 8:30pm at Top Kino.

At both screenings the director Kat Rohrer and the producer Anneliese Rohrer will be in attendance and answer questions after the film. Kat says:" Here in Vienna, as in New York, it is our main goal to raise awareness with the film and get the average citizen to open their eyes and act. This is the true power of film."
