“The first question I asked each of the women I interviewed [on 'Flame'] was, 'Do you think it's legitimate that I, a white woman, should make this film?' The answer was always that they found it easier to talk to me than a black Zimbabwean who, they felt, would have many more preconceived ideas, prejudices or political views than I did as an outsider. They were one and all delighted that anyone should be interested in their stories as nobody had ever had any interest in them before.”
