“In the film NEVERTHELESS, Sarah captured the anguish that so many feel when an entire system refuses to recognize them solely for their intellect, passion, and humanity. I was ready to be influenced but the film goes further by giving us a glimpse into ourselves too. Discrimination, harassment, and marginalization are not women’s issues. They are all of our issues as individuals, leaders, and members of society. Every person should see this film and think about the loss to our communities, cultures, and even the economy when we marginalize others.”

This film should be required in all sex education classes and for all HR sexual harassment training!”
