Citation :
« Eventually, through circumstance, I became a documentary filmmaker and quickly realized the power of film to educate. I also believe that the word is the main component of a story. This stems from when I was a child back in Odanak. In the evening, oil lamps were the only source of light. We children would sit by the lamp light and listen to the stories that the adults would tell about our history, about the animal world, and about their lives. »
-- Alanis Obomsawin
