The refugee crisis has been a major source of interest for filmmakers this year. One actress will be unveiling her directorial debut film on the subject at this year’s Cannes. Who is she?
The film in question is titled ‘Sea Sorrow’ and the actress found herself inspired the shocking images of Syrian refugees making the dangerous crossing between Turkey and Greece. The film focuses on ordinary people who have to flee their homes, but also takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s Tempest.
