‘A World Divided’ Director Olga Chajdas Shares Trailer, Discusses Show’s Characters Nikita Khrushchev, Joan Hinton and Golda Meir: ‘We Don’t Judge These People’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Olga Chajdas on ‘A World Divided,’ co-directed with Frank Devos, which tells six parallel that kick off with the start of WWII.

Polish director Olga Chajdas continues chasing different projects as she follows Netflix’s “1983,” HBO’s “The Border” and award-winning features “Nina” and “Imago” with the new six-episode historical drama “ A World Divided.” “It’s kind of funny we were able to ‘tick off’ all the most important films of recent years: From ‘Oppenheimer’ to ‘The Zone of Interest.’ For me personally, going to Auschwitz and shooting in that house [Höss’ family used to live in] was a harrowing experience,” admitted Chajdas. Of mistakes, betrayals and tiny acts of heroism,” said Peter, with Dedio explaining that “colorized film sequences, shot at the time and place when these historic characters lived, are edited directly into the scenes to achieve an authenticity never seen before.”
