Fantastic job with the film! I was riveted the whole time. I have two questions.

You said that you didn't know that this would turn out the way that it did, and just started filming. How do you decide in general what subjects you want to film if you don't know how they'll turn out. Do you have multiple projects and just see which ends up taking you somewhere interesting?

Also, what was the thought process of switching gears halfway through to follow the health minister?

I love the idea of following the people. It makes sense, especially because film is all about human stories. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

I think it payed off. It threw me at first, but I do think that following him added to the story. My favorite scene by the way was when after the election and the minister's father was on the phone with him asking why he was still in the country. Just so heartbreaking and so human.
