Brilliant film! An issue that is criminal and cruel. Agreed, should be drilled in kids heads.
Strong piece. Just the right amount of edge needed to get the message across. Well done by entire ensemble/crew.
I totally agree. Great work indeed
I agree with Michael Vocino. I want my kids to understand the whole picture. This issue needs to be discussed and explored in every way. Great Work.
