Thank you Lamar and Ronnie for a wonderful film on black marriage. I brought my teenage son to the D.C. premiere and loved exposing him to real love stories of African American couples. As I glanced at him durring the film, I could see that he was really taking it in and that was great to witness. The men in the film were all strong, positive and committed to their family…images that were powerful for my African American son to see!

The panel discussion after the movie was also a hit. Dr. Shane Perrault and Nisa Muhammad were awesome!

Thanks again for giving the world a positive view of how hard work, communication, sacrifice, love, commitment and faith are core ingredients for a successful marriage… regardless of race. I purchased the You Saved Me DVD and look forward to other films you all may have in the pipeline. Kudos for a job well done!
