Throughout much of my life, I’ve been immersed in films depicting political oppression. However, none has ever left me with such an icy shiver as “I’m Still Here” did. While many movies can be powerful, this one was different. It wasn’t just the movie itself or its first hour that struck me; I’ve seen my share of impactful political films.

I must admit, I was utterly taken aback by the deal,” I shared during an interview with Radio Times. “Barbara, in my opinion, is an extraordinary woman and an exceptional producer, just like her father Cubby Broccoli. We had a great rapport and I admired him greatly. He was a formidable force and a steadfast pillar for the project.
