Re: Keratoconus Film Festival
It's a great film Ash, well done. I hope that the festival will also consider films showing a broad spectrum of experience too including great struggle, because as with any condition, everyone copes differently, and there are still lessons to be learnt (and solidarity and support) to be gained from ...
