Manage episode 491992398 series 1048656
"40 Acres" had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Danielle Deadwyler's performance, the tension and action created by R.T. Thorne, and the supporting performances by the rest of the cast, including Michael Greyeyes. The film follows a family of African American descendants who settled in rural Canada in 1875, after the American Civil War, and are now fighting for their survival amid a post-apocalyptic world two hundred years later. Thorne and Deadwyler were both kind enough to speak with us about their work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is scheduled to be released in theaters by Magnolia Pictures on July 2nd, 2025. Thank you, and enjoy!
