Two questions

Hi,

First of all, does anyone know how I could purchse this film in the USA, for a USA format?? I have checked everywhere, and it seems I can't rent it or buy it, and I am desperate to see it. Any ideas?

Secondly, I am just curious, but is the character of the sister mixed race, like Romeo, her brother? I ask because I am mixed race myself, with black and white, and I saw a sort of crappy version of the trailer online, and the sister and mother didn't look black at all. Does the actress playing Ladine look black at all? Its bad casting if she doesn't. I don't mean to make an issue of race, honestly, but I saw the trailer and was a bit confused. Someone, let me know.

And I want to see this film! Darn. :(
Any help appreciated, thank you!

The sister is white and the mum black. The dad is white though, so this kinda covers weird race situation.
