Stir it up

During the special features on the dvd for his 2002 film Biggie & Tupac, Nick Broomfield describes the precautions he took to protect himself and his crew during shooting - not everyone lasted through its entirety due to safety concerns. Broomfield recalls how, in order to avoid retaliation from anyone involved in the killings investigated in the film, he used a post office box, drove rented cars, and kept mum about his address. After all, making a movie about the unsolved murders of two hip-hop stars that may involve crooked cops and gang members isn't exactly a way to make fast friends. In the dvd interview, Broomfield casually remarks, 'But if someone really wants to get you, they're going to get you anyway, and the decision really is 'Do I want to make this film or do I not want to make the film?''
