"You did awesome job in the production of this movie. I always wanted to do something like that but never had guts to do it. You are my inspiration. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! Sikh community needs leaders like you, matter of the fact, America needs to know all the information. Thank you again for taking that initiative step. I cried thoughout the movie especially the beginning and ending."

"Thank you soo much! I feel your pain, till this day I still am afraid for my father, my grandpa, and my brother. My brother still gets picked on in school, I hope in the future people will realize we are Americans too. This movie really hit home (literally and figuratively) because my father is also a cab driver, and ... EVERYDAY I worry about my father, brother, and grandpa. What if...? Thank you again."

"I genuinely thought this film was a beautiful depiction of post-9/11 thoughts, and pre-9/11 thoughts actually. Personally, what happened really changed the course of my life. I, along with another Sikh girl I went to high school with, spoke to our principal about speaking out about hate. We were able to, over the course of a week, speak to our entire school, about 3,000 students, in assembly style about not being an innocent bystander during a hate crime and understanding that we are al American. I really appreciate your activism, courage, and passion."

"Thank you for your inspiring film! I was living in England on 9/11 and as a white American I see America and myself as the "other" very frequently. I came back to USA to return to college as an adult to pursue activism in human rights and immigrant rights and whatever else came my way. I just (05/07) finished my undergrad in cultural anthropology with lots of passion and hope. Unfortunately -- still job hunting 10/07, but not frustrated just yet -- just broke! Good luck to you and your endeavors!"
