And the feeling I've had for a very long time, having been a consumer of everything involving the unknown.

Not the unknown a million light years from here, but the unknown right here.

And it's always been something that's really interested me.

And I've always wondered if the unknown is known

by a very small group of people, the injustice of not everyone knowing what they know is kind of what drives me, especially to tell this story of Disclosure Day.

And inequity maybe is a better word for it.
