"10 tactics presented innovative strategies for using information for advocacy in such an engaging and easy to understand manner. The ideas were extremely practical and I felt that we could easily translate many of them into our work situations. We showed the film at a training workshop for women activists and it generated a lot of discussion and sparked ideas for new ways of doing our work."
