At the Berlin film festival this year we had the pleasure in taking part in the press junket for new Netflix feature film The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, the directorial debut of Academy Award winner Chiwetel Ejiofor. We sat down with the man himself, sat alongside the real subject of the movie, the boy who harnessed the wind himself, William Kamkwamba.
We also spoke to the talented youngster Maxwell Simba, who plays the leading role, with lead actress Aissa Maiga. You can watch both of our interviews in the video below:
Synopsis
