For the surprising and yet obvious theme and the ability of using witnesses with discretion and respect, in a well documented structure.
This film was entirely produced by Refugee Law Project staff. As well as congratulating Dan himself as the director, and his collaborators on the project Otim Patrick and Ann Chang, we would also give special thanks to the individuals who were able to tell their stories, and to Angella Nabwowe and Christine Mbawa for the narration. We also wish to thank our funders who enabled this work, including Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fund for Global Human Rights, Christian Aid and other donors who wish to remain anonymous.
