(PNAN-CANADA) – Filmmakers, Toronto Pictures “wants the rights of women and children respected,” as summed up by Bruno Pischiutta, and he remains on that path because they “want to win the fight against ignorance and bigotry.” Currently in production, “Abused in America” takes on child mistreatment with the filming Romania.
Out of the thousands casted for roles, the eighty-seven actors are from not only Romania, but also Austria, Germany, Holland, England, India, South Africa, Canada, including the United States who were chosen: Jody Jaress in the lead role as Carol; Richard Meehan is Daniel; Savannah Reinitzer, Madison; and Carl Anders plays Frank.
The company, Toronto Pictures began in 1996 with its mission-driven platform to record current controversial issues. Their films give rise to about what is ethically right and are presented in a non-violent viewing forum. “It is a new world; it is time for a new morality,” says Film Director Pischiutta. “We want to use film as an artistic weapon to improve the lifestyle and mentality of the viewers, to make their life better and to make them think in a positive way about major social problems that anguish our world today.”
In their most recent big screen production, “Punctured Hope” deals with the practice of women slavery and genital mutilation in the Volta region, known as Trokosi. The film qualified for nomination consideration at the 2010 Academy Awards® in the category of “Best Picture” and it was nominated by the Political Film Society in Hollywood in two categories, “Best Film Expose” and “Best Film on Human Rights” of 2009.
Also on the company’s agenda and set to open this year in Manzini, the Kingdom of Swaziland Film Academy is an educational center fostering the art of cinematography in Africa. They will begin a motion picture production based on the devastating phenomenon of HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa. The film will showcase for first time, the reality of this epidemic in Africa, especially in Swaziland that has the highest pro-capita percentage of people infected with the virus in the world.
“We don’t just want to make movies; we want to make movies that educate, inspire and move people towards change proactively. Our artistic mission is to elevate awareness regarding issues of the moment and to influence social and cultural consciousness globally,” said Producer Daria Trifu.

However, there is more to this company and the way I can express what I found to be prevalent are in the words by Robert Francis Kennedy (1925-1968) US Attorny General: “Each time a man stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
