I found A Land Called Paradise compelling and thought provoking yet at the same time immensely entertaining! So many of the stereotypes we develop about people who are different from us emerge from our not knowing individuals from that group personally. This short film opens up the lives of everyday people and in the process breaks down barriers and undermines prejudice. I'd love to see a series of films like this one where a range of religious or ethnic groups are each asked the same question: "what would you like to say to the rest of the world?"
Let's have a series
