Quote examples
Joshua Oppenheimer
British Director
In documentary filmmaking, there's a tradition of telling stories about victims. We often do that from a very patronizing place, but mostly we do it from a very selfish place, to reassure ourselves that our lives are in sympathy and solidarity with the victims.

Quote examples
Patrick Modiano
French Novelist
