I just want to say that seeing The Fair Trade for the umpteenth time I was taken, again, by the story itself and in particular how it is told. Lauralee Farrer (Writer,Director) is an amazing story teller. This film keeps speaking and keeps on truckin because it manages to get into the heart and soul, and tap that blood of one woman's life which reverberates out and intersect ours. Tamara said it well at the Q & A that this story belongs to all of us on some level (paraphrased). But really it is the craft and vision of Lauralee that I am still amazed by. Her sensitivity to the subject, her ability to translate her wordy vision into images, and her bravery for going beyond what she thought she was capable of in the production of The Fair Trade stand out to me like heavy fruit hanging from the tree.
