WHERE THE FILM IS TODAY
We have already completed production and after a long haul first stage of post-production, we have reached a milestone in the journey of making this film with our 60+ interviews and hundreds of hours of footage, shaped into a 3-hour rough cut! We were also able to work with an archival producer this year. We have reached this point through minimal funding, our own know-how, volunteers, in-kind donations and with some critical collaborators. But now, we need to bring a team on board to make the best possible film, and to do so, we need to secure funding and need your help.
