A: I’m from New Hampshire, and my fellow filmmaker is from the West Coast. We met in Chicago and we started asking questions like: “Why is this city still so segregated in some places, and what’s the history behind that?” We started asking questions that led to some uncomfortable truths. It’s easy for somebody like me to think in the North, we didn’t have segregation, we didn’t have some of these problems. It’s very easy to forget some of this history that is in many ways tragic and still impacts the shape of our city today. So learning about some of this history and really taking a deep dive really opens your eyes about the way neighborhoods are shaped today. It’s a tragic history and one that’s uncomfortable to talk about and think about, but I think it’s important history and to me as an outsider, it was a privilege to come in and gain trust with the local community residents and hear their stories from the ground level. Bronzeville is a neighborhood that has had lots of other people decide what’s going to be best for it from the top down, so we wanted to give this neighborhood a voice that in some ways has been denied.
