Q What drives you to tell stories that provoke and inspire?
When I discovered you can use art to transmit ideas, my initial impulse was to do work that would have a reaction in the social space. When you read about Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael, you get a sense that these guys were etching out bits and pieces of freedom… and they did so by engaging in a conversation with the society and the times that they lived in. I see filmmaking ascertain ideas to make people think about what life and freedom really is.
