Citation de la réalisatrice [en anglais]

« I had only learned about my dad's experiences a year and a half before we gathered for [The Embargo Project]. I was still digesting it and I was only beginning to deal with it. In being challenged to make a film like that, it was probably a necessary continuation of dealing with that part of my life, and reflecting on how it impacts my daily reality. [...] I immediately knew that that was the story I had to tell if I wanted to tell a story that would have the same sort of impact that Suckerfish or My Legacy had, and continue to have »
