Vanessa Redgrave’s debut as a documentary filmmaker, Sea Sorrow, is a plea for a compassionate western response to the refugee crisis and a condemnation of the vitriolic inhumanity of current right wing and conservative politicians. The cinematic icon talked to us about the necessity of opening our eyes to the refugee crisis and how film can have an empathetic influence and effect compassionate action.
Sea Sorrow plays today, October 8, at 4pm at Walter Reade Theater. Reserve tickets here. To see more events from the 55th New York Film Festival, as well as Film Society events throughout the year, subscribe to our YouTube channel!
