It was an honour to have worked on this powerful and important film. It was and is quite the privilege also to know and collaborate with the legendary @MargoHarkin who made the film.

I am trying to pull on anger but I am grief stricken. My stomach turns when I try to speak. How do I explain that burning children alive in tents is bad? Who does not know that? What is this system we’ve built that has normalized advanced tech barbarism & dares to lecture us?
