I've discovered I can't make a film about people I dislike.
I have actually been very fortunate to be able to make films on my own credit card without having huge funders behind me dictating how the story should be told.

It's important in any project to remain focused.
Al Jazeera is demonized by the United States, yet in Egypt my father would be watching it.
