AI-Assisted Visual Restoration & Historical Reconstruction Statement:
Artificial Intelligence tools were selectively used in the post-production of this documentary to restore, enhance, and improve archival photographs and historical materials. In a limited number of instances, AI-assisted imagery was also created to visually reconstruct historical scenes for which original photographic documentation was unavailable. These reconstructions were based on documented events and developed in accordance with the historical context of the period, preserving factual and historical accuracy without altering or misrepresenting the historical narrative.
