“Seeing stories… from one point of view is not very rewarding ultimately. I’m just looking forward to being a continuing part of that positive change,“ he said.
The ‘12 Years a Slave’ star went further and said,
“To get emotional truth of the story, I spent a lot of time with William.”
“I came to Malawi to experience the book from the actual ground. I met his family, friends and saw the village where everything took place.”
“William, his family and people live these incredibly epic lives and that was something that I really found in the book. It’s an epic story.”
‘The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind’ which is based on the semi-autographical book of the same name tells the story of a thirteen-year-old boy in Malawi who invents an unconventional way to save his family and village from famine.
The movie stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Maxwell Simba.
