Filmmaker Statement

This film is a real test of the American heart. I’m a proud American. I believe my country is considered to be number one for a reason. But this American passport quickly loses value if our children’s safety doesn’t rank number one too. In no other country do children go to school thinking, “I might get shot today.” That’s why Lulu going to America requires a force as strong as the Masai to prepare and train her. But it could be the Masai of Kenya, the Aboriginals of Australia, or the Saints of India. It’s about the fact that until something is done about gun reform—what does the average person do to feel safe? We’re the land of the brave. Until the government does something to protect us—we’re gonna really need to make use of that bravery.
