EPIC
Thanks for your supportive comments, folks! Anything you can do to help spread the word so that we can reach our $10,000 by May 20th would be much appreciated. Cheers!
I am passing the link around!
Super interesting! Congratulations for your courage and hard work...
This is an amazing project. I loved your trailer and the courageous people you profile. Best of luck to you!! I am sure you will exceed your fundraising goal! Kiley
Wow, Malika! Trailer blew my mind -- this is riveting, disturbing and important work. I'm so glad you two are doing it.
I believe its very important for this story to be told. I am very impress with the work already done I
The subtitles for the trailer may work better in yellow -- I had a difficult time reading them.
I wish you guys the very best of luck on this incredibly important project. Thank you for telling this story.
Yo. The trailer is GREAT. I really want to see more. x
Great trailer. Thank you for documenting the lives of people who are really suffering. If US fundamentalist wack-jobs can go into Uganda and make such a horrible impact, the rest of the international community can speak up against these policies and provide insight and understanding that lead to compassion and acceptance of all citizens.
Looks fascinating Malika, Good luck with the chopping and pasting; it's a story that needs to be told.
Have you guys considered using a Creative Commons (creativecommons.org) license to try and spread your work more?
Thanks, Kasha. That means a lot to us.
very great initiative indeed,great job guys
