The film, written and directed by French cinematographer Yves Jeuland, had its North American premiere at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival on 21 January 2008.
During the presentation of the movie in the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, the consular officer Lutz Görgens compared the theme of the movie to Jeremy Schaap's book Triumph, which tells the story of the American athlete Jesse Owens, who won the gold medal in the 1936 Olympic Games, despite the strong discrimination he suffered.
