What an incredible year 2018 has been! We have screened 23 times for over 2,000 people and won four awards! With each screening, people approach Ghazwan and myself to share the impact the film has had on them. It has been a deeply moving experience!
Ghazwan’s story is changing lives in profound ways and we are eager to make 2019 an even more impactful year. Will you help us maintain our momentum and reach audiences who need this film most? Make a year-end tax-deductible donation today to help bring this film to communities across the country.
No amount is too small, every dollar will have impact.
While we complete the necessary steps to prepare the film for a release on platforms such as iTunes and Amazon, we are also in the process of creating a strategic community screenings campaign that will bring this film to audiences across the country, and we need your help to make this possible. You can read more about our campaign on our Go Fund Me page.
As our immigrant and LGBTQ communities face great threat, Ghazwan’s story becomes more and more relevant and important. We are a country that embraces diversity, ingenuity, compassion and love, but this message and way of living is being buried by fear and turmoil. A true embodiment of the real American dream, Ghazwan illustrates the hope and spirit that this country still inspires at a most pertinent time.
For those of you who have supported us in the past, thank you for your past and continued support on this journey. We could not have come this far without all of you! For those of you contributing today, thank you for supporting independent film and ensuring that Ghazwan’s story and the sacrifices he has made continue to make change for years to come.
Sincerely,
Erin Palmquist and the From Baghdad to The Bay Team
