  • These images and the words spoken take us to the heart of the film. Vince’s voice-over provides a further account of what they have been through, not least how they have drawn strength from dealing with prejudice and fear born of ignorance. Suzi talks of her latest crisis in close-up and states why she wanted the film made.
