Quotes:

Human Rights are a cause of great importance to me. Educating the youth of not only California and this Nation, but the entire world community is something that is vital in the mission for world tolerance, peace and unity. Not only does Mr. Lexton have a great talent in filmmaking but he is a great advocate and educator. His film will reach and impact the lives of many throughout the world. — Arnold Schwarzenegger - Governor of California

"Brilliant. An important contribution to human rights education." — Craig Mokhiber, Deputy Director, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, New York.

"Your organization's commitment to human rights education is praiseworthy." — James K. Hahn, Mayor of Los Angeles
