Thank you so very much for taking the time to put this film together, sometimes it easy to forget we’re not alone. The Forest Travellers have, and are still suffering from huge , unacceptable social injustices. Our time will come again. Now we know what their game is and how they play it, we will beat them at their own game using history, truth and determination. The work that Len Smith did in collating all that information into his book is all the ammunition we actually need.
