Robert Seligman
Robert Seligman, Croatian gymnast: “The autobiographical novel Marijan Gubina’s “260 days” has a very strong message of faith in humanity for me. I was deeply impressed when the story of hatred and evil from life turned into something completely different through the manifestation of humanity, which means that faith in humanity is not lost. Despite everything, a person rises above savagery, hatred, and violence and finds the strength to seek meaning in love for others and humanity. My sincere recommendation is definitely to read the book and experience the experience of the human mind.”
MARIN ŽUPANOVIĆ
“Through the pages of ‘260 Days,’ I felt a deep emotional connection with the story that author Marijan Gubina translated onto paper. Every page reveals his pain, courage, and hope as he navigates through his own life’s trials. Gubina masterfully conveyed the layers of his emotions and deeply personal experiences in a way that touched my heart. Through his thoughts, I felt his vulnerability and strength, his victories, and defeats. ‘260 Days’ is not just a book, but an intimate story that reminds us of the power of human endurance and the strength of spirit even in the hardest times. Gubina has created a work that will forever be etched in my heart.”
Luka Pratljačić
Croatian heavyweight champion boxer “I am glad that I can support this praiseworthy project of the production of the Film 260 DAYS. I hope that the Film 260 DAYS will be well received worldwide.”
RABIN JACK BEMPORAD
I’m delighted that Jakov will make a film based on this remarkable story. I’m confident that the film will be fantastic. You have my full support. I’m praying for this project! Good luck!
Veljko Budimir
Captain of the VROS basketball team “I recommend that you all read the book 260 days, which speaks of the dramatic and traumatic experiences and horrors that Marijan Gubina experienced during the Homeland War with his family in captivity. I am one of the ambassadors of the film 260 DAYS.”
