They have already reached their base goal in the first 8 days, which will be enough to finish the project. NOW anything you contribute will help them start the process of getting the film seen!

I am very excited for this project and I am huge supporter of this film. It has the potential to be seen by thousands, if not millions of people and will definitely have an impact on the future of Somaliland.
