This film started as a documentary but had to be pulled when one of the key contributors refused to consent to release the film.

​

Her reasons were totally valid, she had genuine fears about the reprisals she would face from her family. To her, the interview was a chance to speak candidly to someone who cares, and that is as far as she wanted to take it.

​

As a film, Tell Me About It is a story told from a place of both empathy and curiosity. It’s about bringing multi-dimensional characters to life, making them feel real so the audience can connect with them and allow them to explore their own curiosity in seeing the world from another’s perspective.
