00:00Every story is different, but for me, when I think about storytelling, I try to think
00:04about what is the best approach for the material that I've been given.
00:08With The American Question, we had so many rich elements.
00:11In fact, we probably could have made a mini-series with all of the information we had.
00:15But I made a decision as a director to say that if we're going to have a conversation
00:19about American values, you as a viewer, I shouldn't ask you to watch 10 episodes to
00:24find an answer.
00:25You need to be able to watch it in 90 minutes and talk about it with your friends, your
00:28family, your community members.
00:31That for me was the way that you tell this story in a way that can hopefully have an
00:36impact on communities across the country.
