A few years back, we interviewed Chiwetel Ejiofor in Berlin, for the European premiere of his directorial debut, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. The talent filmmaker now returns with his second stint behind the lens, this time telling the stirring and impactful story of Rob Peace.
We had the pleasure to catch up once more with Ejiofor, to discuss the project at hand, and of course, go into detail on the joys of collaborating with the talent that is Mary J. Blige.
Watch the full interview with Chiwetel Ejiofor now:
