We all know of these happening, but the hardest thing is to actually watch it and hear it. I think you courageous to do this and this is what art is, a capture of reality, a reality that we sometimes find difficult to admit and to face. Good luck.

@ahmadxxx89 Please respect the views of others on this channel including myself. NO PROFANITY please or I will block you from adding comments in the future. There can be no dialogue or understanding between any of us if we choose to live in hatred.

@mish3lovic You're very welcome. Thank you for your support.

[mish3lovic]

@filmsculptor yes and thank you very much

[filmsculptor]

@mish3lovic Yes the rumour is true, the film was banned from screening in theatres during the Kuwait Int'l Film Retreat. The cleaners we interviewed were not involved in any criminal activity, they were law abiding individuals. As a result the scenes you describe do not exist. They were discussing the misconceptions that others have of them. Hope this helps.

@filmsculptor i think you misunderstood my other side of the story part..you know how people are saying they steal and damage property? if you would've shown this and then reinforced that whats being done to them is leading to this it would just make people think a bit more...and is this movie really banned from showing in kuwait? i heard this somewhere?
