This is a film we made very independently by ourselves and to be able to see it travel like this and be seen, has been beautiful. - Anisia Uzeyman

It is a very interesting thing for every immigrant, that question of where your heart is and what is linking you to a place, especially one that isn’t the easiest of places to exist in.

Cecile Kayiregawa, who plays [the elder nun], is a renowned singer in Rwanda and for anyone who knows that place, [what] it was like to have her, to be able to work with her and to capture her in this film — she’s really revered, it was like meeting a queen.

Young people worldwide are demanding the same things that we talk about in the film, and these are universal concerns, but we don’t always take into account that those discussions are also happening in places like Rwanda or Burundi. I wondered, what would it be like to tell the story of these deliberations from the inside instead of the outside.
