"As a Black woman filmmaker I feel thatâ€™s my job: visibility. And my preference within that job is Black subjectivity. Meaning Iâ€™m interested in the lives of Black folk as the subject. Not the predicate, not the tangent.[These stories] deserve to be told. Not as sociology, not as spectacle, not as a singular event that happens every so often, but regularly and purposefully as truth and as art on an ongoing basis, as do the stories of all the women you love."

-- Ava DuVernay
