Rough Aunties | Sundance Festival 2009
This film can be very hard to watch due to it’s unwavering and unbiased look into such tough subject matter, but it definitely should be seen. While I wasn’t able to watch all of the World Cinema Competition titles during my short time in Park City, I can say that it doesn’t surprise me that ROUGH AUNTIES won the World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize.

Pictures still to come…
I have just seen Rough Aunties at the Sydney film festival. Everyone around me was very moved by the situation portrayed in the doco; the excellent work of all the aunties was inspiring. I hope the doco gets wide release, and generates increased financial support for BB.
Keep up the good work.
