You Can Make a Difference
“We envision audiences continuing their interaction with the film and the broader project beyond the screenings. Ultimately our hope is that the film along with the outreach and audience engagement programme will create a global community of people that will be passionate about the themes in the film and will be moved to take action, small or big, to continuously raise awareness and make a difference to those important issues.”
