Quote:
"I think my job as a director in film and as a writer and film is to highlight the things that I want to say. I always say that film is my activism. And so I'm able to tell the stories that I want to tell. When it came to Black Bodies it was about telling the story of how Black people are treated within the world and how we have to interact in the world. And it also spoke about police violence, and racism. And so with [When Morning Comes], I'm speaking about sacrifice and immigration. And so I just try and find stories that I don't see on TV that are reflected in the way that I experience the world."
