Jim Sheridan talks about controversial new movie, The Secret Scripture, in this fortnight's Hot Press

In the latest issue of Hot Press, director Jim Sheridan talks about his lifelong work of documenting Irish stories on the silver screen. His latest project is the film adaptation of Sebastian Barry's novel The Secret Scripture, which premiered at ADIFF last month. As the script was written by Sheridan without much involvement from Barry, the author has expressed his criticism for the film. Sheridan responds, saying" I think really if you're a writer, you either need to let it do or do it yourself."
Sheridan doesn't shy away from topics such as the American political situation, the connection between movies and politics, and his work with the Home Sweet Home movement during their occupation of Apollo House.
