I am a 30 year old Nigerian woman who has been struggling at her career and getting a hold on my life. While I cannot blame the poor government for how my life is, this video has reminded me to get up and live for what I truly believe in. This movie reminded me to get up and give my all to my passion-photography. I will start with what I have and from where I am. This is more than a movie. This is a therapy/mind reformation documentary. Thank you for giving yourself to a cause you believe in. In doing what you love, you are a model to people like me who have been living a sleepy life. You have inspired me to get up and pursue what is most important to me. Thank you so much.
