S For Story/10285589
JAKARTA, Indonesia - April 1, 2017 - s4story -- International Film Festival For Women, Social Issues & Zero Discrimination (IFFWSZ) chose WishMakers, directed by Cheryl Halpern from the United States, as the best film in this year's competition. WishMakers is a documentary about a residential adult special needs community that works in a tulip winery. This inspirational documentary is selected for bringing a strong message about women, children, social issues, and anti-discrimination. The eyes of the judges of the Festival were gleaming with tears as they watched such caring conditions to nurture dignity and give a new bright purpose for the residents.
Damien Dematra, the founder and director of the festival, said that this festival had opened many eyes to the fight for women's rights. "I hope this festival will inspire the world," said the man who has won more than 500 international awards in film industry and photography.
Ambassador for Women Natasha Dematra added that the issue of gender equality should be the spread through women and men. "An open mind and tolerance for others are two of the many things that can be done to make the world safe and secure for both sides," she said.
