Did you get to see the film? I would love to know what you thought of it if you did??
Yes I did. I loved the idea of the project and Andrea did it justice in her documentary. I didn't know about it till I saw the film and wanted to be part of. Everybody came off real and it's a touching film that will resonate with everybody, specially those who participated in the project.
