Director Statement

WHY IS THE TITLE THE EAR OF THE TOGAR? Listening to the Voice of the People: The title reminds us that the voices of the people, especially from the lower classes, are often unheard or overlooked. By emphasizing “ears”, the film invites viewers to be more sensitive to voices that may have been ignored.
