I'm really just making what I'm interested in,

what I've learned, and trying to pass it along.

When I learned the information on "13th," I wanted to share it.

When I understood what was happening

with Black farmers in this country, I wanted to make "Queen Sugar"

and everything that's within it.

So I'm a voracious reader

who will then go make a movie about it.

And it's a beautiful way to further our knowledge,

because I believe images embed themselves

in our imagination in a way that words alone don't.

We think in picture, you know?

Your memories are pictures.

And so, to be able to approximate that,

to render that in film, is such an honor that,

when I first was able to do it and

show my work in a theater like this

and watch the back of people's heads as they were watching the screen

and understand that emotion was coming from the images that I made,

it was highly addictive

and something that I've never gotten over.
