Minamata - Bill Nighy on his timely new film with Johnny Depp

Bill Nighy is interviewed for Minamata, which stars Johnny Depp as celebrated war photographer W. Eugene Smith, alongside Minami, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ryo Kase, Jun Kunimura, Bill Nighy and Katherine Jenkins.

Plot: New York, 1971. Following his celebrated days as one of the most revered photojournalists of World War II, W. Eugene Smith (Johnny Depp) has become a recluse, disconnected from society and his career. But a secret commission from Life magazine editor Robert Hayes (Bill Nighy) sends him to the Japanese coastal city of Minamata, which has been ravaged by mercury poisoning; the result of decades of gross industrial negligence by the country’s Chisso Corporation.

There, Smith immerses himself in the community, documenting their efforts to live with Minamata Disease and their passionate campaign to achieve recognition from Chisso and the Japanese government. Armed with only his trusted camera, Smith’s images from the toxic village give the disaster a heartbreaking human dimension, and his initial assignment turns into a life-changing experience.

Minamata is out in UK cinemas now.

Johnny Depp embraced Minimata not looking for profit from his movie, just trying to alert people about the consequences of unscrupulous companies. By the way, film industry and MSM are among them 😉

I am not a humourless person, but I think it would be really good if you stop using your noisy funny hey, you guys logo because it undermines the seriousness and professionalism that is evidently in your videos. Thank you.

Amazing that the man who we hear on audio admitting he headbutted Heard as she screamed and calling her a used-up stripper is still allowed to do these movies... Shame on the director for hiring this abusive monster. Deppheads are truly sick people.
