“Not sure if insight is the right word…..a look at a world that remains foreign to Westerners – I have watched it a few times and tried to pick up small pieces of info and imagine how the view of the world is presented when growing up in that environment. The story for me presented a look at how the world looks from inside a family that has had the same views presented over generations – I did not try to analyze any political meaning…to me that is not what the film was about.”
