Listen is a film that will make you cry, but more importantly, it will just make you really angry. Angry at the system it portrays, as a film that shines a harsh light on the social services industry, and a labyrinthine process. Yet the film doesn’t judge the individuals, but the system they’re placed within. To mark the release of this moving film, we had the pleasure in speaking to two of the film’s leads, Lúcia Moniz & Sophia Myles. We discussed their knowledge of the world they inhabited in this film, and on themes director Ana Rocha is portraying. What transpires here is a fascinating chat with two talented actresses, that go into depth about their roles and careers. Be sure to watch the full interview below.
Synopsis
In the London suburbs, Bela and Jota face serious difficulties when “social services” raise concerns about the safety of their three children. The 7-year-old daughter’s deafness triggers a process in the system that seems to go on forever.
Listen is released on June 10th
