These two are powerhouses. They both put their heart and soul into their crafts and what they do. Amazing talent!

[TokzanTee]

It breaks my heart to see Ava literally have to beg people to watch such an incredible piece of art filled with substance (27:30), all while we watched films like Barbie break the box office without neither Margot Robbie or greta gerwig needing to convince us to watch the movie. This the world we live in. 😭😭💔

[noreenhartley]

I encourage everyone to read this book. One of the best book I have ever read. So glad to see this being made into a movie.

Fund black films. We need to see more crowdfunding. I think a lot of folks would put their money into a film like this.

I live in Chicago and will be looking for this movie. This is something that I would like to take my 13yr old to see. I struggle w/opening these topics up to my baby but it’s my duty as a parent to make my children aware of what is going on in the world and how to handle it. Thank you so much for this interview🥰

[spartan]

Just bought a ticket. Showing in Austin at only one place, but I will be there. This is an important film.
