The director wishes to acknowledge the families who have lost a loved one at the hands of the State and

to express his sympathy and his admiration for the courage they have shown in these difficult times.

Thanks to the activists, social workers, families and friends who work toward a most just and equal society,

as well as those who have contributed, from near or far, to making this film possible.
