I think this film could teach all people, including Black, White & Gay
folk.... what hate is about and what it can cause society as well as
family.... I would love to see this film brought back and put into
theaters...
I had the privilege of working on the Canadian Casting. Even after
reading the script, I knew right away that it would make a great
film. I was blown away and brought to tears when I actually saw it
on the big screen.
I was so disappointed when it disappeared after only a short time.
I tell people about this film all the time. It's a shame that it hasn't
been advertised more.
To date, this is my favorite film.
