If anything our teachers wanted us to learn in my not-so-flawless art academy is that being a filmmaker, like being a journalist, comes with significant social responsibility. Every frame you choose is a political act.

That is why I have immense respect for filmmakers who stay authentic to their truth regardless. This is the only way to justify the existence of this art.
