i'd like to say that i'm super excited about engaging in a conversation with Mr. Nowrasteh, i think it courageous and admirable to expose such atrocity and i'm honored to be a part of this event. I just hope i don't have a brain fart when trying to come up with questions. hehe I'd love to know his inspiration and thought process behind this movie as well as his opinion about the outcome of it. i'd also like to know how he feels about his audiences' along with the critics point of view regarding the movie.
