The movie was named Best Documentary at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) in July, has received quite a bit of positive press in Australia and, after its success at Melbourne, was invited to be shown at QueerDoc, the world's premiere gay and lesbian documentary film festival, in Sydney this September. But the QueerDoc screenings are now off. http://www.gayvn.com/index.php?Primary_Nav...ntent_ID=274244 (adult site)
