Release Information

We made this film with the intention of releasing it for cinematic and television broadcast. In addition, we intend to find a permanent home for the film, as well as the archive of more than 200 interviews, in a museum or educational institution. Our main objective is and will always be to ensure that the film is preserved so that it may be viewed by future generations and so that the stories live on.

We recently completed the film and it is currently making a tour of the film festivals and we are in talks with distributors regarding the licensing of the film for all mediums in domestic as well as international markets.

Check here for the latest news on the film's release and regional film premiere information. Currently, the film is in post-production.
