Speaking of the film's purpose, Patrick is quoted: "Burying The Past" has taken me six years to complete. I came upon the idea when I saw an article in the Salt Lake Tribune in 1998 about these age-old enemies who were attempting to forgive each other. With all of these warring factions in the world today and the cycle of vengeance they perpetuate, it was inspiring to me to see an attempt at reconciliation. It was the humanity of the story which I found in the descendants of the massacre that I was drawn to, and wanted to bring out. I think that the film shows how difficult it is for opposing cultural groups to come together. If you can show people to other people, you can reduce the prejudice in this world, and in this case, I hope to help heal some of those prejudices. I hope you find the story as fascinating as I have while making it."

The film is available at www.buryingthepast.com DVDs include many Special Features like a 23 minute documentary on The Making of The Film, Director's Commentary, Deleted Scenes & more.
