    Beautifully Done.
    Bits and pieces of this movie, very vital pieces of this story I strongly connected with on a personal level. When my ex and I were going through these issues back in the early 2000's, we always questioned to whom could we reach out to for answers? We had no one and no where. No we do.

    I'm finally seeing a piece of my life being told how I see it. How I experienced it. Thank you everyone who put their lives and breathe into this work. I appreciate this gesture more than you know. I have been inspired. Well done. You did the damn thing.
