I’m deeply passionate about this film and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Suchitra Mattai and Adam Graves to bring this important narrative to life. The film brings attention to crucial issues while celebrating resilience, humour, and hope. I’m delighted that, with Netflix joining the team, the conversation will expand as it reaches audiences far and wide.”
