Derek Devoy is the founder of Taxi Watch and says it was an emotional weekend, "we had a lot of people coming up.

We didn't know who they were but they had been people we'd been helping over the phone, through texts etc. and never would have seen them face to face.

They actually made an effort to come down to the Film Festival and we met up with them."
