00:00I cannot wait for this particular room to experience this film tonight.

00:04Sora Cynthia, what do you hope inspires and sparks our sores?

00:08And what are you most excited for them to experience this film?

00:12Because I'm amongst family, I can say this.

00:23She faces a lot of adversity.

00:25She faces a lot that she has to struggle to come through.

00:30But the thing that she does is discover that the one thing she needs to do

00:34is stay true to who she is.

00:36And that's how she discovers how powerful she is.

00:40I know that every single one of us in here has had to deal with that.

00:43I know we deal with it almost every single day.

00:46But please trust and believe that if you just stay true to who you are,
