I agree, she was amazing in Speak. I was blown away by her performance in it. I'm glad that she's lending her "voice" to this cause.

It's great she makes this documentary and I hope she is doing it for the rigth reason, and not because she want's people to see her film.

Not really a documentary, more of a PSA really.
