“I think that any time you are making a film you have to realize that the people you are talking with might be giving you misinformation. Sometimes it is factually incorrect and for that, it's important to me to check it out and not let things find their way into the film without being challenged, either by me, or by another character, or by evidence that you might see on screen.” PeopleThinkingGivingImportantSometimesCharacterFilmRealizingEvidenceMisinformation Author:Marshall Curry
“Most of this film, however, is about interpretation - are these people terrorists or freedom fighters? Are they good or bad? Is cutting timber good or bad? And I don't feel like the answers to those questions are simple, so we don't try to answer them for the audience. I wanted to elicit the strongest - and most heartfelt - arguments from the characters in the film and let those arguments bang up against the strongest arguments of their opponents.” PeopleTryingCharacterFilmSimpleAudienceCuttingArgumentTerroristFighterHeartfeltFreedom Fighter Author:Marshall Curry
“It was our goal to dig into the characters and really try to find out why they think the things they think and why they do the things they do - and we got some amazingly candid and revealing interviews - but it's not my job to offer summary judgment on those interpretations.” ThinkingTryingCharacterGoalJudgment Author:Marshall Curry
