Great job. So happy you produced this. So important to tell our stories in this climate where racist conservatives want to whitewash our history. We need to tell our stories over and over again. Thank you.

To give a voice to words that are so powerful for us amongst the diaspora is amazing. I've been waiting to watch this film and it is beyond what I expected. Dr Selassie, you've done a beautiful job!

I find the usage of ai deeply offensive, the voices you are trying to uplift through the tools that steal so much work from, notably black artists, are voice that do not benefit from stolen work. hiring certainly does cost more but it would've brought a work of a much better quality and most importantly isn't so fucking tone deaf
