I believe that those who believe in the power of human rights must find new ways to address economic injustice - and on a scale commensurate with the millions of people around the world that are mired in poverty.

Like a human rights lawyer who uses the law to rectify wrongs, I use filmic storytelling for the same effect.

Destiny doesn't control your life, but it does place you on a path. It's how you walk down that path that determines stories I tell.

I'm both an artist / filmmaker and a human rights defender.

When you make a documentary film, after many years the only thing you remember is what you put into the film, not what you took out.

Celebrate your victories and mark your defeats. Ultimately documentary filmmaking is not a job, it's a calling.
