"I was deeply moved by the stories and quite honestly believed in the name of the festival as I walked out of the theater. These films need to be seen as these stories are absolutely worth telling! There is something powerful about witnessing a character in real life and realizing how they fit into and have impacted the world around them. It's a sensory experience to beyond beauty in the story of a person or place. I was so moved and blown away by the other films I felt unworthy to share the same screen."
