Lela's film statement:
By creating this short film, I am choosing to act by recreating Renee Firestone’s story and sharing it to everyone watching, not just to share her bravery and selflessness in trading her peace for the greater good of the future, but also sharing my own outlook as to how her story impacted the future and inspired me to use my voice much like she used hers. I am using my art to share her story further, hopefully reaching future generations and audiences alike to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself and her sacrifice isn’t for nothing.
