Om avsnittet
In this bonus episode of The Screen Podcast, we speak to director Imran Hamdulay and star Keenan Arrison about crime thriller The Heart Is A Muscle, which has been selected by South Africa as its Oscars submission. Hamdulay, making his feature directing debut, told Screen’s senior US critic Tim Grierson how he tried to portray the poverty-stricken Cape Flats region of Cape Town in a more nuanced way than other films, even turning to the area’s local gang leaders for help.
