Emma Thompson & Fionn Whitehead on The Children Act

Emma Thompson, Fionn Whitehead and Director Richard Eyre are interviewed for their movie The Children Act, the new film from Richard Eyre, adapted from the bestseller by the writer Ian McEwan (Atonement) and produced by Duncan Kenworthy.
During the interview Fionn also talks about his movie Roads which is coming up with filmmaker Sebastian Schipper about the refugee situation in Calais and how appalling it is.
The film stars Emma Thompson, Fionn Whitehead, Stanley Tucci, Ben Chaplin, Jason Watkins, Rosie Cavaliero and Nikki Amuka-Bird.
PLOT:
Based on the much-loved novel by Ian McEwan (Atonement) and brought to the big screen by director Richard Eyre (Notes on a Scandal, Iris), THE CHILDREN ACT is a compelling and powerful drama telling the story of Fiona Maye (Emma Thompson), an eminent high court judge presiding over ethically complex cases. As the demands of her job cause her marriage to Jack (Stanley Tucci) to reach tipping point, Fiona is asked to rule on the case of Adam (Fionn Whitehead), a brilliant young boy who is refusing a life-saving blood transfusion on religious grounds. With her private life in turmoil, Fiona finds herself drawn into the case, taking the unorthodox step of halting proceedings in order to visit Adam in hospital. As the two form a profound connection and powerful emotions come to light, Fiona’s judgement is put to the test with momentous consequences as she must ultimately decide whether Adam lives or dies.
The Children Act is released in the UK on the 24th of August, 2018.

[@audioliquor]

Calais, northern France. The encampment was called Calais Jungle.

[@jazzguitar3441]

It is shocking what is ans was going on in these refugee camps.... 😞

[@dontthinkso8533]

pawns on a chess board, used and abused for politics.... But it's the divvy fools who allow their puny brains to be controlled and told what to think, that gives credence to all these cruel, and inhumane practices to exist..

You don’t blag yourself into a kingdom hall of Jehovah’s witnesses, everyone is welcome, you could have simply said I’m just curious to know what you believe and believe you me you wouldn’t have to lie to all of us. :)

[@daisybuttercup6801]

All you have to do is accept that they’re all nutcases.

[@thelaurels13]

It’s a crazy cult. Maybe you should accept that, Marcelo.

[@dph4944]

@@thelaurels13 Nope... The world is the one getting crazier. Ask anyone. It is blatantly falling apart and maybe you should accept that.

[@MadKingOfMadaya]

everytime emma mentions feminism fionn remembers all those moments when he acted like a racist sexist in school...

[@mariahcarey9470]

What happened? Did you know him at school?

[@MadKingOfMadaya]

Mariah Carey yeah. we were in the same class for 2 years. he liked acting and was a very nice guy to the girls.. but most of us joked about racism and sexism and i suppose he didn't want to be left out.. plus he's kinda gay if you wanna know the truth of it. he didn't say it but we all knew

[@evemcguire7047]
