New America Media, Audio, Shirin Sadeghi, Posted: Sep 02, 2011

It's surprising to meet John Madden. He's a Hollywood film director, Oscar nominated for Shakespeare in Love, and yet, upon first greeting, he is a rather gentle soul who somehow ended up in the glamourous world of American cinema after years in radio in his native United Kingdom.

His films, including the critically acclaimed Captain Corelli's Mandolin, are often about history and his new film, The Debt, about World War 2, is no exception.

John Madden spoke with New America Now host Shirin Sadeghi about filmmaking, history and the obscured international stories that return to the light of day when someone makes a film about them.
