Director Statement

Sending Huro Home was made to make everyone understand the importance of wildlife. It was a film that was made to raise awareness about the issues faced by wildlife and to raise awareness about the growing problem of animals being on the verge of extinction due to human interference. I personally had a great time learning about the Hoolock Gibbons and making the film.
