Quote:
"I thought it [making Older than America] would be very difficult, but I was just honest with the crew and said, 'This is my first time. Teach me everything.' And people were really supportive and excited about that. The people who worked with us, these are people who want to be invested in something that matters. [...] When I went to Fond du Lac [Reservation in Minnesota], they opened their arms. There's not one person there who hasn't been affected by the boarding schools, so they gave us everything we needed: location, extras. They piled dirt for us, they cleared things. We got our hotel at a discount, and all that extra money we put on screen. And all this, they said, 'We'll give it to you on one condition: you have to let us have a feast and a wrap party for you.' That was the condition. They were really wonderful."
