For example, if someone converted to Pentecostalism, that means they didn’t use drugs. If they did, there would be serious consequences. They would be kicked out of church, and the gang would respond to the betrayal with violence. You had no prior experience as a filmmaker. How did the film come together? A friend of mine…
