Troubled Waters director: relieved, but still baffled

"It has been a strange process from the beginning, inexplicable behavior from the U and a number of about-faces. ... I still don't understand what's happened ... but I'm relieved people can come out and see what the show is about. I’m really proud of this film. ... This is a good step in the right direction, but it leaves many questions unanswered."

-- Director Larkin McPhee, director of Troubled Waters: A Mississippi River Story, after hearing that the University of Minnesota would indeed show the film as planned.
