This project took me over 5 years to build. I consulted the biographies of every 45000 and 31000, built a structure and selected 70 women and men whom I believed told all together the best story about those 2 incredible groups.
I couldn't have done this without the help of my family and friends, as well as those who spent some of their time with me, telling me the stories of their relatives.
I wish to thank
