All good things must come to an end!

Another 1o days have come and gone, and have felt like a whirlwind of truly diverse film! I must say that of the films I saw this year they left me feeling great about the work and thoughts of people from all over the world.

1) ME, TOO (YO, TAMBIEN)

This film centres around Daniel who has Downs Syndrome, however the focus was not on that he had Downs as much as it was on love and normalcy. It was a beautiful look at our perceptions.

2) BAS: BEYOND THE RED LIGHT

An intimate film that looks at the women of the red light district who have been rescued and their journey to rebuild their lives and self esteem.

3) AFTER THE RAPE: THE MUKHTAR MAI STORY

After much media around the Mukthar Mai Story, this film showcases the power of Mukhtar's perseverance after her rape, and the effects she has had on the women her village.

Until next year!
