Iris’ Testimonial on NO! A Documentary on Rape, Sexual Assault and Healing

April 29, 2008

On March 9, 2008 I watched your documentary with a group of my friends, all women of color. This was the second time viewing for me and I was impacted just as much if not more than the first. I sat with my girlfriends after watching it and discussed our own feelings, experiences and sadness. Following our viewing we ate a meal together, laughed and expressed love for each other. Our pain and sadness was thankfully nourished by communal care and good food.

I want to say thank you so much for creating NO!. My life has changed after seeing it along with my commitment to ending violence. I don’t feel like I have the proper tools to really thank you but, I just need you to know that your film was amazing. Having the heart and passion for what you created is inspirational. I will take your message and spread it as far and as much as I can. Thank you. Your Sister, Iris
