“The Courageous”, interview with director Jasmin Gordon and actress Ophelia Kolb

Fred Film Radio had the pleasure of speaking with Jasmin Gordon, director of “The Courageous”, and actress Ophelia Kolb at Alice nella Città. They discussed their collaboration on this intense, character-driven film that challenges stereotypes of single mothers and asks audiences to embrace nuanced, imperfect characters. “The Courageous” is a story about a single mother who lives a kind of double life… trying to be the best mother she can, while also wrestling with her criminal past,” Gordon describes. This tension in the lead character, Jule, is central to the film’s exploration of morality and resilience.
