That was an excellent film which deserves wide circulation. I am going to make sure that every contact I have within my voluntary organisation (the St Vincent de Paul Society) is aware of it and has the opportunity of seeing it. Congratulations! I hope to make contact with more members of the Zimbabwean community in Leicester.
