PUNCTURED HOPE had three screenings at the Festival. Each screening register a bigger number of viewers. The last screening, on Saturday, September 5th, had a full house with people sitting in first raw and some also standing.

It is the best awakening movie ever! Even if the subject is extremely hard, the fact that there were not graphic pictures of the atrocious acts they commit, it reached further within us without the sensationalism that most US movies have today. I am hoping in the deepest of my heart that many people will see it and will be aware of the nightmare life that these girls live. Director Bruno Pischiutta and Producer Daria Trifu did a fabulous job in recreating the situations keeping so much authenticity to them. Thank you so much for offering me the opportunity to see such an outstanding movie. I felt part of the movie as if I was one of the participants, it was so natural that it did not feel like a movie made up but just lived.

Carmelo Dodaro, the DOP of PUNCTURED HOPE, who did not get the chance to view the film before today’s screening in Montreal, was in attendance and he congratulated Director Bruno Pischiutta and Producer Daria Trifu for the perfect execution of the movie.

Toronto Actress Krista Campbell and her husband David Craig were in attendance and they praised the artistic execution as well as the importance of the film’s topic.
