Wilma is a remarkable woman and struggled from relative poverty to get herself educated (she has a PhD) and to do some very interesting work in the Baha'i community and the wider community. She's a very interesting person to listen to and converse with. But beyond the personal friendship, I think this is an important story that really should be told. David Henderson, also a good friend and a Washington DC journalist/PR (with strong ethical principles, unlike some) is putting a lot of energy into getting this film made.
