Esposito Explains Personal Sacrifice

In the video, Esposito stated that she had mortgaged her home to make her film and was now leaving that home. She expressed frustration that people in the spotlight had not publicly supported the film by recommending it, and she reflected on the idea that people owe each other basic human decency.

In a written caption accompanying her remarks, Esposito posed what she called a singular question about whether human beings owe each other basic decency. She referred to systems that, in her view, keep people in conflict and described survival as a basic, ongoing occurrence.
