Profoundly Moving

It is one of the perks of my job that I get to see some of the ‘Focusonability’ film entries before they are made available to all.

Our International entrants will be posted for general viewing this time next week

Meantime I have had the privilege of watching a powerful and moving film from Rwanda – I am very grateful to its producers and to the films star for both challenging and inspiring me.

I can only hope that this film is an indicator of the standard we can expect this year – thank you.
