[Full episode] Viggo Mortensen, Jean Smith, Emma Donoghue, Charles Officer and Motion 10/09/2020 - a podcast by CBC Radio

Viggo Mortensen discusses his new film Falling — which he wrote, directed and co-stars in — about a gay man who must care for his ailing, irritable and homophobic father. Artist and musician Jean Smith talks about her $100 USD paintings, why there's been a surge in sales during the pandemic, and how she's using her art to change the world. Author Emma Donoghue discusses The Pull of the Stars, her prescient new novel about the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, and the ethical and political issues surrounding health. Director Charles Officer and writer Motion tell us about their new film Akilla's Escape, which takes a blunt look at Jamaican gang culture and the reach of its international drug trade.
