The way they have been treated over the years has been a shame but we are coming out of that shell. We are a progressive society and we continue to do so. It was an immediate yes as I heard the narration. The film has been doing the rounds of the film festivals and I am glad it will be available for the audience very soon. It’s a project that is bound to question our beliefs and sit and think to decide what is right and not what is convenient. Time’s up for anyone who thinks that they don’t belong to society. They make society. Love and light to all.”
