Chanda's Secrets Film: Take One

From Allan Stratton's blog. Allan is currently in South Africa for the filming of his award-winning novel, Chanda’s Secrets (Annick Press).

Arriving on set was a blast. Everywhere I looked I saw the characters from Chanda's Secrets come to life. In all cases, their spirit was what I'd imagined. In other cases, the actors even looked as I'd pictured them. I'll leave those of you who know the book to tell me which actors you think most closely match their characters. (I'd really love to hear your impressions.)
