Quote:
"My values don't always align with that of conventional documentary filmmaking, having to remain objective behind the camera. This is community-based filmmaking. Morally and ethically, the responsibilities of being a community member are more important. Documentary filmmakers from outside our community have the privilege of walking away, and they have blind spots in their understanding of our experience. We navigate things differently."
