Three thoughts from the filmmaker:
The film was created in the midst of the Covid pandemic.
Film team worked incredibly hard to include diverse stakeholders to give the audience a holistic understanding of the issues presented.
The majority of filming and editing occurred between February and December 2020, but the film had been over three years in the making prior to filmmaker, Mike Vanata taking the project on.
