"On a certain level, what’s going down in Delhi society or Bombay urban life, it almost startles me, it shocks me."

Mira

Nair

"I think there’s this pre-conceived thinking that people can’t see things like this, and I don’t think it’s true."

Larry

Clark

"I think that we all know the truth about our lives and where we come from. It’s the concealment of the lie that creates the damage."

Elise

DuRant

"I have a weak character. If people like the movie, I feel better and happy. And if they don't, I feel a little bit sad."

Todd

Solondz

" The film’s point of view is very clear-eyed and candid in depicting the irreversible damage that this abuse causes these young boys. It changes their lives forever."

Gregg
Araki

"Instead of investing in repression they should do the opposite. You’ve got to bring those marginalised people in. And provide schools, and sports, and culture."

Fernando Meirelles

"As with an actual dream, at some point the piece began forming itself and these oblique relationships between things grew more and more insistent as we were editing."
