Michael Winterbottom Quotes

"The film tries to tell their story. We are trying to show what happened to them from their point of view. They are normal people simply caught up in events."
-Michael Winterbottom

"We are trying to show what happened to them from their point of view. In the end we are just trying to tell the story as it is. To tell the story of these three people, not to tell the general story."
-Michael Winterbottom

"The starting point was to tell (about) these three people, not to tell the general political situation. All the images you see -- it's hard to know whether it's deliberate or not, they sort of dehumanize the people there, you don't have any sense of what they're like."
-Michael Winterbottom
