Quote:
"I felt the limitations of documentary filmmaking with
A War Story. Often you are bound by your
research and personal connections. I felt protective of
my parents. And when I took a group of men back to
where the camp had been, I felt exploitive. [...] It
was horrendous what they had endured, and now I was
forcing them to relive what they had spent most of
their lives trying to forget."
