"I want the people to feel they are a part of my journey, because they are. I am asking questions that are difficult and discovering along with them every step of the way. Through this documentary, I would like to have folks identify with my journey and be inspired to take care of themselves for the preservation of culture in the next generation" - Isaac Trimble
