In an interview and discussion of the documentary on Detroit Public TV, Burns describes what he hopes to accomplish as a filmmaker, "Our job is to tell a good story." In response and in praise of Burns’ work, the interviewer offers his view of documentary. "The story that filmmakers like yourself, the story that storytellers create, are the framework that allows us to understand the truth because the truth is too unfathomable to take in all at once." To which Burns quickly adds, "And there are many truths."
