I think we're in a bind here. I don't know how we get out of it. We had two presidential candidates who, by all accounts, had used drugs in their lives. But they won't talk about their experiences or their policies. It's a pretty glaring omission in my opinion.
Drugs are one of the key social issues in our world, but nobody's talking about it.
Your pseudonymous camerawork on the film is being widely praised. Tell me about the decision to shoot the film yourself. The reason to shoot the film myself was really from a desire to move as quickly as possible, and then the handheld was sort of an extension of that. I wanted to give the impression that we were chasing the story and that we were capturing something instead of staging something. The material warranted that.
