Danny Glover's Radical Roots | TIFF REWIND

Описание: In this compelling career retrospective from 2002, Danny Glover joins host Cameron Bailey at the Toronto International Film Festival for a deeply personal conversation about his "radical roots" and the path that led him from activism to the global stage. Glover reflects on his upbringing in a household of San Francisco postal workers and community leaders, detailing how his mother’s journey from rural Georgia and his parents' commitment to social justice fundamentally imprinted his worldview and his approach to the arts. Throughout the session, he discusses the vital role of theatre as his creative foundation and explains how he views storytelling not just as entertainment, but as a powerful tool for resistance and social change. This archive footage offers a rare, intimate look at the man behind the iconic roles, revealing a life dedicated to the belief that the artist and the activist are inextricably linked.
