"When we started, there were only two or three survivors" that were willing to come forward, Bryant explains, “all of whom understandably had cold feet.” The team knew that to provide a 360 perspective and make an impact, they had to speak to more people.
The producers also shared personal growth through the experience, which will influence their work for years to come. “This project has taught me the importance of providing content on sensitive subjects,” says Simmons. “So many people were healed from this project. This has shown me that it was much needed. I have seen the impact that this has made and will continue to make.”
