Her documentaries often transgress borders of traditional genres, as she uses elements of feature filmmaking when working with protagonists.

The film is distributed and marketed by Women Make Movies and First Hand Films.

Since 1990 Wenner has been a member of the selection committee of the "International Forum" and also serves as the delegate for India and Subsahara-Africa for the Berlin International Filmfestival and the Dubai International Filmfestival.
