You have done a wonderful job of bringing to the fore a topic that has too long in the shadows.  On behalf of all incarcerated parents, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

***Greetings Ms. Turano,
While I know that the DVD I viewed was only an excerpt of The Word Is Love, I found it poignant and riveting. The ambivalent emotions that the children grapple with and attempt to articulate are powerful. Even the cinematography was excellent.  Michael Turano does a great job with the camera.
