Quote:
"For Indigenous audiences [of Rustic Oracle], and specifically anybody that has gone through something that my character has gone through, I hope that they feel heard. I hope they feel understood. I hope they feel supported and not dismissed. Sonia (the director) has said on numerous occasions that the epidemic of MMIWG [Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls] has become very political. We've lost sight of the fact that these families are experiencing this. I hope that family members of MMIWG don't feel like they are alone in this. For non-Indigenous audiences, I hope it sparks some conversation. I hope it sparks action. I hope it sparks a desire in them to educate themselves of systemic racism, and the history of Canada regarding Indigenous people."
-- Carmen Moore
