"We can change the world - because we have," they said. They certainly did, and aren't we all the better for it? This terrific documentary is a celebration of those achievements.

Paul Byrnes
Sydney Morning Herald
An engaging, informative and impassioned snapshot of a reality that's still so recent, and of the hard work that was required to even reach the current imperfect status quo.
