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“
Nermin’s Testimonial on NO! A Documentary on Violence Against Women
April 22, 2008
“The NO! documentary is a powerful account which shows once again how patriarchy exerts its domination across racial, class, national, religious etc. boundaries. I think this movie has a message for everybody, no matter what background she/he comes from. The movie taught me how to say No!. Thank you, Aishah!”
