Quotes
Matthew O'Neill, filmmaker:- Approaching these families was one of the most difficult things that I've ever had to do as a filmmaker because their expressions of grief, their visits to the graves of their lost loved ones, are the most intimate moments you could possibly imagine. And we're standing there -waiting- with a camera. So the way that we operated was as human beings first, documentarians second. So many of these families are returning week after week or day after day, so we became part of their community.The Huffington Post: Trapped in Section 60 (October 13, 2008)
