Does the movie lose some impact by having the perpetrator hidden?
I was upset in the beginning when I had to blur-out my father’s face, thinking that I was still protecting him and therefore letting him off the hook. Since then I’ve received hundreds of emails from survivors all over the world thanking me for hiding his face. In doing so, they said they were able to project their perpetrator onto him. I never looked at it that way before but I like that outlook on it now. It fits the film. Because the story is not about my father just like it’s not about me. We represent a much bigger picture. This is an epidemic.
