Fantastic post- thank you! I was deeply moved by The Noble Guardian and look forward to seeing Island In Between which sounds like a perfect companion to Invisible Nation. Hope to see a joint screening in 2024. Mad respect as always for your commitment to foregrounding the role of women in building a more peaceful world and the supreme importance of gender equality in that world. Keep up the good work!!!

Amazing insight into these 2 films. I've just watched Island In Between yesterday and I enjoyed it very much.

"Leo’s film is really speaking to audiences everywhere in this moment when the need for nuanced foreign policy and diplomatic negotiations to achieve..." underlying how important it is what you said, would add (and this goes for both films) that the subjective point of view is truly important here. These stories are told by people who have had that lived experience and we get so much more nuance.
