      YOU GUYS MADE IT!!!! I never use multiple exclamation marks, but I'm gonna use them now. I'm not celebrating prematurely, right? With the additional $275 from my matching, you're there! I really can't express how happy I am for you guys, and I wish I could be celebrating this with you. Let's just say: I'll see you in Rangoon, and we'll party.

      I have been following this project for quite a while and I am - and always have been - confident, that it will succeed. As made obvious by the trailers, the film will be truly great not only from an artistic point of view. It already raises awareness for the crime of human trafficking and the problem it presents for far too many people and societies around the World. Even more importantly though it bears witness to known and proven ways to help those who have become victims. So please join me in supporting this documentary so that - ultimately - we can support the victims of and the fight against human trafficking.
