NEW YORK, March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- "Unusual and groundbreaking, WKMK is a refreshing change from all those American movies where saner and more rational societies are portrayed as weird and abnormal and the plethora of lazily confused Arab/Indian/Hindu/Moslem stereotyping that infests all post 9-11 U.S. culture. And you get a Sapphic love story thrown in for free." - Philadelphia Weekly
