This is a documentary film about leprosy. It is not only about the rotting flesh of the lepers that we found on the top of the highest Nuba mountains, but also the rotting of ethical values at the heart of Europe and the whole world. Over there, amidst a war for water, land and minerals, its most innocent victims are rotting away, marooned on mountain tops in between the largest swampland and the largest desert on Earth, and under seige from militias and regular armies on all sides. ‘Rotting 2022’ takes you to the site of human sacrifice, to one of the most isolated places on the planet to learn from the natives themselves. It is an appeal to our common humanity, and a wake-up call to the consequences of our hubris.

Tomo Križnar was born on August 26, 1954 in Jesenice. He has a degree in economics and mechanical engineering. For years, in books and articles for the media, he has been dealing with the sensitivities of surviving indigenous cultures and ways to protect them. Since 2013, he has advocated for the creation of transnational natural cultural parks that would protect the indigenous people of the Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile and Darfur from the descendants of slave hunters. Since December 2017, he and Bojana have been trying to help fellow human beings - lepers on top of the highest mountains.
