Quote by the Director

"I began looking at Indigenous women in jails and their sacrifices. There are a large number of Indigenous women incarcerated in Canada and a higher percentage than other women. [Jesus Indian is] told through song much like a music video. It was a great little piece and more of an experimental film."
-- Marie Clements (source)
