Following the screening at Raindance, I spoke with D’Avilla and Lyss Ball about why the film feels so urgent now.
“Acceptance can sometimes still feel distant. It can mean: I allow you to exist, but I may not really want to know you. Understanding is deeper. It requires listening, humility, and the willingness to change the way we see someone. To be accepted is important, but to be understood is to feel truly seen.”
