Help Uncover the Truth: The Maksim Krstulović Documentary Film is a crucial investigative project seeking independence from restrictive state funding. As a professional cinematographer, I am launching this campaign to finance the urgent filming, archival research, and post-production of a documentary about my father, Maksim Krstulović—an artist, intellectual, and targeted victim of the communist regime of the SFRY who was mysteriously murdered in London in 1974. Because official state channels routinely bury the sins of the past, this film relies entirely on independent backers to piece together a detective drama that echoes the stories of countless other dissidents.

Who This Fundraiser Is For

This project honors the memory of Maksim Krstulović, while giving voice to the structural erasure experienced by political emigrants under totalitarian regimes. The story is told through my lens as his son and a professional filmmaker, ensuring that the visual and narrative execution meets the highest cinematic standards.

Why Your Support Is Vital Right Now

Time is rapidly running out. There are still living witnesses who can confirm the dark political events preceding his 1974 murder in London, but their testimonies must be recorded before they are lost forever. Because contemporary state funds continue to avoid financing projects that expose historic nomenclature crimes, independent global crowdfunding is the only avenue to bring this hidden history to light without censorship.
