Farming is a hugely affecting tale about race and identity, and marks the directorial debut for actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, adapting his very own life experiences into this profound piece of cinema. Casting newcomer Damson Idris as a younger self, we had the pleasure in Toronto (last year!) of sitting down with the talented duo to discuss this hugely personal, and challenging production.
