SYS Podcast Episode 218: Writer/Director Roland Joffe Talks About His New Film, The Forgiven Starring Forest Whitaker

‘The Forgiven’ is a story about compassion. When director Roland Joffé saw the play by Michael Ashton, he knew he wanted to turn the conversation into a film. In the movie, it’s the end of Apartheid and Archbishop Desmond Tutu (Forest Whitaker) meets with a brutal murderer (Eric Bana) seeking redemption. Director Roland Joffé is perhaps best known for his Oscar-nominated films, ‘The Mission’ (Robert DeNiro) and ‘The Killing Fields’ (Sam Waterston). In this interview, he talks about the realism in his films, his complex and personal casting process to find an actor’s “flow,” and the importance of forgiveness, compassion, and human connection in life.Stay up-to-date on other creative advice at www.creativeprinciples.live
