My highest compliments go to them and really

0:00:34.960,0:00:41.960
that was just fantastic. And also, I just,
uh, I mean this really is about Majak and

0:00:43.430,0:00:47.550
Majak’s story. This award is because of
the quality of his story. He’s such a you

0:00:47.550,0:00:50.710
know a remarkable man and we’re going to
hear about him whether it’s through the

0:00:50.710,0:00:56.329

his award and also just wanted to thank people

0:00:56.329,0:01:01.500

the best cameramen and editors and people

it on behalf of them as well. Thank you.
