" . . . so moving on so many levels. The film portrayed all the grannies, whether in Africa or in Canada, with such distinction and grace. I was particularly moved by the message of connection teaching that "we" are, by and large, the same - same needs, same fears, same dreams, same desires."
- Alexandra, Vancouver.

. . . inspirational and very well documented.
