#Quote
1[observation, 2014] I am in a constant state of existential crisis about what I do. After 'Air India', I wanted to do a movie based on Christie Blatchford's book about Afghanistan, and the first time Canada was at war since Korea. But I couldn't get any traction. To this day, there has not been a treatment of Canadian military adventures there in any form. That kind of stuff does matter..because if you don't have a history you don't have a country.
#Fact
